8 bool "Network device support"
10 You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
11 any other computer at all.
13 You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
14 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
15 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
16 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
17 AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.

29 tristate "Intermediate Functional Block support"
30 depends on NET_CLS_ACT
32 This is an intermediate driver that allows sharing of
34 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
35 will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
36 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
37 Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
39 Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
42 tristate "Dummy net driver support"
44 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
45 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
46 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
47 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
48 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
49 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
50 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
51 Administrator's Guide, available from
52 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
54 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
55 will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
56 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
57 Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
61 tristate "Bonding driver support"
64 Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
65 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
66 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
68 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
69 performance and high availability operation.
71 Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
74 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
75 will be called bonding.
78 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
80 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
81 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
82 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
83 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
84 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
85 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
86 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
88 Say Y if you want this and read
89 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
90 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
91 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
93 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
94 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
97 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
100 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
101 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
102 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
103 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
104 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
106 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
107 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
108 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
109 all routes corresponding to it.
111 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
114 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
117 If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.
120 tristate "General Instruments Surfboard 1000"
123 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
124 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
125 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
126 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
127 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
128 provided by your regular phone modem.
130 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
131 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
132 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
133 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
134 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

152 bool "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)"
155 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
156 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
158 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
159 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
160 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
161 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
162 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
163 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
164 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
165 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
166 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
168 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
169 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
170 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
171 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
172 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
174 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
175 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
176 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
181 tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"
183 Most ethernet controllers have MII transceiver either as an external
184 or internal device. It is safe to say Y or M here even if your

209 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
212 config MACE_AAUI_PORT
213 bool "Use AAUI port instead of TP by default"
216 Some Apple machines (notably the Apple Network Server) which use the
217 MACE ethernet chip have an Apple AUI port (small 15-pin connector),
218 instead of an 8-pin RJ45 connector for twisted-pair ethernet. Say
219 Y here if you have such a machine. If unsure, say N.
220 The driver will default to AAUI on ANS anyway, and if you use it as
221 a module, you can provide the port_aaui=0|1 to force the driver.

1612 bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
1616 This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
1617 of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
1618 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
1621 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
1622 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
1625 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
1626 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
1627 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
1628 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
1629 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
1633 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
1636 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
1637 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
1638 instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
1639 memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.
1641 config 8139_OLD_RX_RESET
1642 bool "Use older RX-reset method"
1645 The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
1646 reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
1647 RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you
1648 experience problems, you can enable this option to restore the
1649 old RX-reset behavior. If unsure, say N.

2105 Linksys EG1032/EG1064, 3Com 3C940/3C940B, SysKonnect SK-9871/9872.
2107 It does not support the newer Yukon2 chipset: a separate driver,
2108 sky2, is provided for Yukon2-based adapters.
2110 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2111 will be called skge. This is recommended.
2114 tristate "SysKonnect Yukon2 support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2118 This driver supports Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the
2119 Marvell Yukon 2 chipset:

2432 NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
2433 when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
2434 still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
2436 If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be

2554 Fiber Distributed Data Interface is a high speed local area network
2555 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2556 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and
2557 want a driver for the FDDI card in your computer, say Y here (and
2558 then also Y to the driver for your FDDI card, below). Most people
2562 tristate "Digital DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapter support"
2563 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2565 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2566 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2567 to a local FDDI network.
2569 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2570 will be called defxx. If unsure, say N.
2574 prompt "Use MMIO instead of PIO" if PCI || EISA
2576 default n if PCI || EISA
2579 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2580 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2581 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2582 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2583 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2584 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.
2589 tristate "SysKonnect FDDI PCI support"
2590 depends on FDDI && PCI
2593 Say Y here if you have a SysKonnect FDDI PCI adapter.
2594 The following adapters are supported by this driver:
2595 - SK-5521 (SK-NET FDDI-UP)
2596 - SK-5522 (SK-NET FDDI-UP DAS)

2617 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2618 will be called skfp. This is recommended.
2621 bool "HIPPI driver support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2622 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && INET && PCI
2624 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2625 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2626 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2627 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2628 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2629 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2630 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2631 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2634 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2635 depends on HIPPI && PCI
2637 Say Y here if this is your PCI HIPPI network card.
2639 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2640 will be called rrunner. If unsure, say N.
2642 config ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS
2643 bool "Use large TX/RX rings (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2644 depends on ROADRUNNER
2646 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2647 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2648 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2649 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2653 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2656 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2657 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2658 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2659 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2660 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2661 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2662 enabled for this to work.
2664 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2665 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2666 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2667 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2668 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2669 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2670 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2671 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2672 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2673 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2674 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2676 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2677 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2678 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2679 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2680 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2681 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2683 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2684 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2685 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2689 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2692 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2693 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2694 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2695 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2696 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2698 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2699 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2700 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2701 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2702 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2704 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2705 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2706 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2707 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2708 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2709 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2710 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2711 synchronous PPP", below.
2713 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2714 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2715 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2716 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2717 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2719 config PPP_MULTILINK
2720 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2721 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2723 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2724 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2725 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2727 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2728 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2733 bool "PPP filtering"
2736 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2737 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2738 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2739 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2740 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2741 active-filter options to pppd.
2746 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2750 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2751 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2752 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2755 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2760 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2763 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2764 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2765 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2767 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2770 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2775 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2776 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2777 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2778 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2779 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2780 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2782 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2785 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2788 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2789 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2790 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2791 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2792 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2793 it is safe to say Y here.
2795 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2796 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2799 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2800 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2801 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2804 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2805 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2811 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2812 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2814 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2815 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2818 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2819 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2821 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2823 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2824 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2825 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2826 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2827 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2830 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2831 depends on ATM && PPP
2833 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2834 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2835 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2836 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2839 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2841 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2842 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2843 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2844 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2845 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2846 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2847 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2850 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2851 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2852 around (available from
2853 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2854 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2855 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2856 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2857 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2858 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2859 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2860 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2861 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2862 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2863 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2865 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2866 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2869 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2870 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2874 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2875 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2876 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2877 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2878 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2879 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2880 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2881 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2882 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2883 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2888 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
2892 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2895 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2896 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2899 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2900 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2903 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2904 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2905 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2906 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2907 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2908 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2909 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2912 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2913 depends on SCSI && PCI
2915 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2916 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2917 intended to replace SCSI.
2919 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2920 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2921 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2922 "SCSI generic support".
2925 tristate "Traffic Shaper (OBSOLETE)"
2926 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2928 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2929 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2930 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2931 these virtual devices. See
2932 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2934 An alternative to this traffic shaper are traffic schedulers which
2935 you'll get if you say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" in
2936 "Networking options".
2938 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2939 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
2942 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2943 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2945 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2946 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
2952 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
2956 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
