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

33 This option enables kernel compatiability with older network devices
34 that do not use net_device_ops interface.
39 tristate "Intermediate Functional Block support"
40 depends on NET_CLS_ACT
42 This is an intermediate driver that allows sharing of
44 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
45 will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
46 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
47 Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
49 Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
52 tristate "Dummy net driver support"
54 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
55 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
56 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
57 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
58 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
59 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
60 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
61 Administrator's Guide, available from
62 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
64 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
65 will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
66 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
67 Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
71 tristate "Bonding driver support"
73 depends on IPV6 || IPV6=n
75 Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
76 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
77 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
79 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
80 performance and high availability operation.
82 Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
85 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
86 will be called bonding.
89 tristate "MAC-VLAN support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
90 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
92 This allows one to create virtual interfaces that map packets to
93 or from specific MAC addresses to a particular interface.
95 Macvlan devices can be added using the "ip" command from the
96 iproute2 package starting with the iproute2-2.6.23 release:
98 "ip link add link <real dev> [ address MAC ] [ NAME ] type macvlan"
100 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
101 will be called macvlan.
104 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
106 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
107 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
108 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
109 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
110 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
111 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
112 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
114 Say Y if you want this and read
115 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
116 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from

120 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
123 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
126 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
127 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
128 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
129 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
130 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
132 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
133 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
134 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
135 all routes corresponding to it.
137 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
140 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
143 If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.

153 tristate "General Instruments Surfboard 1000"
156 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
157 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
158 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
159 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
160 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
161 provided by your regular phone modem.
163 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
164 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
165 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
166 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
167 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

188 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
189 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
191 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
192 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
193 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
194 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
195 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
196 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
197 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
198 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
199 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
201 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
202 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
203 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
204 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
205 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.

208 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
209 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
214 tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"
216 Most ethernet controllers have MII transceiver either as an external
217 or internal device. It is safe to say Y or M here even if your

266 MACE ethernet chip have an Apple AUI port (small 15-pin connector),
267 instead of an 8-pin RJ45 connector for twisted-pair ethernet. Say
268 Y here if you have such a machine. If unsure, say N.
269 The driver will default to AAUI on ANS anyway, and if you use it as
270 a module, you can provide the port_aaui=0|1 to force the driver.

2703 Fiber Distributed Data Interface is a high speed local area network
2704 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2705 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and

2714 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2715 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2716 to a local FDDI network.
2718 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2719 will be called defxx. If unsure, say N.
2723 prompt "Use MMIO instead of PIO" if PCI || EISA
2725 default n if PCI || EISA
2728 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2729 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2730 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2731 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2732 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2733 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.
2738 tristate "SysKonnect FDDI PCI support"

2775 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2776 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2777 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2778 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use

2802 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2805 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2806 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2807 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2808 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2809 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2810 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2811 enabled for this to work.
2813 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2814 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2815 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2816 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2817 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2818 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2819 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2820 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2821 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2822 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2823 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2825 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2826 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2827 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2828 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2829 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2830 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2832 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2833 will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
2837 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2840 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2841 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2842 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2843 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2844 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2846 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2847 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2848 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2849 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2850 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2852 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2853 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2854 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2855 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2856 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2857 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2858 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2859 synchronous PPP", below.
2861 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2862 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2863 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2864 here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
2866 config PPP_MULTILINK
2867 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2868 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2870 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2871 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2872 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2874 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2875 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2880 bool "PPP filtering"
2883 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2884 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2885 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2886 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2887 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2888 active-filter options to pppd.
2893 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2897 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard

2911 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2912 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2914 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2917 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2922 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2923 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2924 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2925 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2926 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2927 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2929 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2932 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2935 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2936 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2937 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2938 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2939 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2940 it is safe to say Y here.
2942 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2943 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2946 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2947 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2948 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2951 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2952 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2958 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2959 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2961 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2962 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2965 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2966 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2968 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2970 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2971 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2972 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2973 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2974 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2977 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2978 depends on ATM && PPP
2980 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2981 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2982 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2983 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2986 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2987 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && INET
2989 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
2990 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
2991 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
2993 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
2994 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
2995 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
2996 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).
2999 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
3001 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
3002 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
3003 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
3004 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
3005 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
3006 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
3007 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
3010 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
3011 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
3012 around (available from
3013 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3014 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
3015 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
3016 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3017 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
3018 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
3019 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
3020 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
3021 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
3022 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
3023 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
3025 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
3026 will be called slip.
3028 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
3029 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
3033 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
3034 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
3035 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
3036 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3037 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
3038 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3039 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
3040 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3041 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
3042 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
3047 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
3051 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
3054 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
3055 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
3058 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
3059 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
3062 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3063 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3064 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3065 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3066 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3067 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3068 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
3071 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
3072 depends on SCSI && PCI
3074 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
3075 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
3076 intended to replace SCSI.
3078 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
3079 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
3080 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
3081 "SCSI generic support".
3084 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3085 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
3087 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
3088 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3090 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
3091 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3092 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS && EXPERIMENTAL
3095 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
3096 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
3097 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
3098 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3104 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
3108 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
3112 tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3113 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO
3115 This is the virtual network driver for virtio. It can be used with
3116 lguest or QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M.
