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).

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.

1591 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
1594 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
1595 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
1598 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
1599 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
1600 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
1601 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
1602 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
1606 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
1609 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
1610 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
1611 instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
1612 memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.

2293 This option adds the support for the wireless feature of PS3.
2294 If you have the wireless-less model of PS3 or have no plan to
2295 use wireless feature, disabling this option saves memory. As
2296 the driver automatically distinguishes the models, you can
2297 safely enable this option even if you have a wireless-less model.

2661 Fiber Distributed Data Interface is a high speed local area network
2662 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2663 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and

2665 then also Y to the driver for your FDDI card, below). Most people
2669 tristate "Digital DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapter support"
2670 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2672 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2673 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2674 to a local FDDI network.

2686 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2687 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2688 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2689 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2690 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2691 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.
2696 tristate "SysKonnect FDDI PCI support"

2731 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2732 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2733 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2734 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2735 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2736 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2737 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2738 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2741 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2742 depends on HIPPI && PCI

2753 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2754 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2755 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2756 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2760 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2763 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2764 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2765 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2766 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2767 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2768 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2769 enabled for this to work.
2771 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2772 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2773 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2774 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2775 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2776 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2777 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2778 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2779 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2780 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2781 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2783 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2784 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2785 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2786 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2787 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2788 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2790 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2791 will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
2795 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2798 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2799 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2800 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2801 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2802 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2804 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2805 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2806 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2807 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2808 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2810 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2811 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2812 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2813 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2814 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2815 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2816 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2817 synchronous PPP", below.
2819 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2820 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2821 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2822 here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
2824 config PPP_MULTILINK
2825 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2826 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2828 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2829 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2830 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2832 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2833 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2838 bool "PPP filtering"
2841 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2842 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2843 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2844 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2845 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2846 active-filter options to pppd.
2851 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2855 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2856 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2857 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2860 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2865 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2868 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2869 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2870 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2872 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2875 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2880 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2881 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2882 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2883 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2884 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2885 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2887 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2890 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2893 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2894 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2895 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2896 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2897 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2898 it is safe to say Y here.
2900 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2901 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2904 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2905 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2906 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2909 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2910 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2916 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2917 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2919 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2920 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2923 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2924 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2926 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2928 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2929 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2930 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2931 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2932 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2935 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2936 depends on ATM && PPP
2938 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2939 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2940 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2941 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2944 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2945 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && INET
2947 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
2948 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
2949 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
2951 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
2952 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
2953 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
2954 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).
2957 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2959 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2960 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2961 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2962 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2963 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2964 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2965 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2968 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2969 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2970 around (available from
2971 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2972 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2973 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2974 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2975 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2976 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2977 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2978 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2979 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2980 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2981 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2983 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2984 will be called slip.
2986 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2987 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2991 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2992 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2993 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2994 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2995 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2996 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2997 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2998 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2999 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
3000 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
3005 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
3009 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
3012 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
3013 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
3016 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
3017 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
3020 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3021 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3022 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3023 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3024 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3025 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3026 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
3029 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
3030 depends on SCSI && PCI
3032 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
3033 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
3034 intended to replace SCSI.
3036 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
3037 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
3038 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
3039 "SCSI generic support".
3042 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3043 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
3045 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
3046 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3048 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
3049 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3050 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS && EXPERIMENTAL
3053 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
3054 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
3055 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
3056 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3062 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
3066 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
3070 tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3071 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO
3073 This is the virtual network driver for virtio. It can be used with
3074 lguest or QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M.
