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.

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

118 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
121 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
124 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
125 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
126 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
127 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
128 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
130 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
131 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
132 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
133 all routes corresponding to it.
135 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
138 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module

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

186 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
187 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
189 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
190 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
191 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
192 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
193 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
194 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
195 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
196 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
197 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
199 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
200 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
201 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
202 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
203 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
205 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
206 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
207 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
212 tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"
214 Most ethernet controllers have MII transceiver either as an external
215 or internal device. It is safe to say Y or M here even if your

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

1579 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
1582 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
1583 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
1586 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
1587 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
1588 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
1589 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
1590 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
1594 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
1597 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
1598 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
1599 instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
1600 memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.
1602 config 8139_OLD_RX_RESET
1603 bool "Use older RX-reset method"
1606 The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid

2281 If you have the wireless-less model of PS3 or have no plan to
2282 use wireless feature, disabling this option saves memory. As
2283 the driver automatically distinguishes the models, you can
2284 safely enable this option even if you have a wireless-less model.

2634 Fiber Distributed Data Interface is a high speed local area network
2635 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2636 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and
2637 want a driver for the FDDI card in your computer, say Y here (and
2638 then also Y to the driver for your FDDI card, below). Most people
2642 tristate "Digital DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapter support"
2643 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2645 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2646 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2647 to a local FDDI network.

2659 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2660 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2661 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2662 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2663 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2664 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.
2669 tristate "SysKonnect FDDI PCI support"

2704 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2705 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2706 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2707 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2708 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2709 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2710 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2711 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2714 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2715 depends on HIPPI && PCI

2726 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2727 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2728 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2729 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2733 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2736 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2737 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2738 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2739 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2740 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2741 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2742 enabled for this to work.
2744 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2745 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2746 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2747 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2748 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2749 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2750 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2751 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2752 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2753 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2754 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2756 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2757 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2758 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2759 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2760 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2761 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2763 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2764 will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
2768 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2771 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2772 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2773 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2774 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2775 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2777 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2778 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2779 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2780 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2781 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2783 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2784 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2785 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2786 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2787 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2788 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2789 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2790 synchronous PPP", below.
2792 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2793 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2794 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2795 here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
2797 config PPP_MULTILINK
2798 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2799 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2801 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2802 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2803 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2805 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2806 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2811 bool "PPP filtering"
2814 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2815 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2816 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2817 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2818 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2819 active-filter options to pppd.
2824 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2828 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2829 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2830 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2833 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2838 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2841 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2842 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2843 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2845 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2848 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2853 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2854 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2855 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2856 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2857 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2858 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2860 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2863 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2866 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2867 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2868 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2869 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2870 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2871 it is safe to say Y here.
2873 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2874 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2877 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2878 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2879 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2882 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2883 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2889 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2890 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2892 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2893 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2896 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2897 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2899 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2901 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2902 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2903 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2904 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2905 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2908 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2909 depends on ATM && PPP
2911 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2912 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2913 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2914 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2917 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2918 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && INET
2920 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
2921 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
2922 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
2924 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
2925 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
2926 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
2927 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).
2930 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2932 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2933 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2934 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2935 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2936 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2937 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2938 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2941 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2942 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2943 around (available from
2944 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2945 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2946 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2947 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2948 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2949 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2950 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2951 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2952 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2953 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2954 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2956 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2957 will be called slip.
2959 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2960 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2964 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2965 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2966 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2967 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2968 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2969 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2970 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2971 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2972 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2973 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2978 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
2982 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2985 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2986 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2989 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2990 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2993 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2994 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2995 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2996 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2997 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2998 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2999 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
3002 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
3003 depends on SCSI && PCI
3005 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
3006 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
3007 intended to replace SCSI.
3009 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
3010 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
3011 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
3012 "SCSI generic support".
3015 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3016 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
3018 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
3019 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3021 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
3022 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3023 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS && EXPERIMENTAL
3026 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
3027 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
3028 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
3029 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3035 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
3039 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
3043 tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3044 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO
3046 This is the virtual network driver for virtio. It can be used with
3047 lguest or QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M.
