2 # Tulip family network device configuration
6 bool "DEC - Tulip devices"
7 depends on (PCI || EISA || CARDBUS)
9 This selects the "Tulip" family of EISA/PCI network cards.
14 tristate "Early DECchip Tulip (dc2104x) PCI support"
18 This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet
19 cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip
20 21040 (Tulip series) chips. Some LinkSys PCI cards are
21 of this type. (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI
22 (smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip"
23 cards, below. However, most people with a network card of this type

30 int "Descriptor Skip Length in 32 bit longwords"
35 Setting this value allows to align ring buffer descriptors into their
36 own cache lines. Value of 4 corresponds to the typical 32 byte line
37 (the descriptor is 16 bytes). This is necessary on systems that lack
38 cache coherence, an example is PowerMac 5500. Otherwise 0 is safe.
39 Default is 0, and range is 0 to 31.
42 tristate "DECchip Tulip (dc2114x) PCI support"
46 This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet
47 cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip
48 21140 (Tulip series) chips. Some LinkSys PCI cards are
49 of this type. (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI
50 (smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip"
51 cards, above. However, most people with a network card of this type

58 bool "New bus configuration"
61 This configures your Tulip card specifically for the card and
62 system cache line size type you are using.
64 This is experimental code, not yet tested on many boards.
69 bool "Use PCI shared mem for NIC registers"
72 Use PCI shared memory for the NIC registers, rather than going through
73 the Tulip's PIO (programmed I/O ports). Faster, but could produce
74 obscure bugs if your mainboard has memory controller timing issues.
78 bool "Use RX polling (NAPI)"
81 NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
82 when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
83 still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
85 If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
86 deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
91 config TULIP_NAPI_HW_MITIGATION
92 bool "Use Interrupt Mitigation"
95 Use HW to reduce RX interrupts. Not strictly necessary since NAPI
96 reduces RX interrupts by itself. Interrupt mitigation reduces RX
97 interrupts even at low levels of traffic at the cost of a small
104 depends on TULIP && SPARC
107 tristate "Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISA"
108 depends on (PCI || EISA)
109 depends on VIRT_TO_BUS || ALPHA || PPC || SPARC
112 This is support for the DIGITAL series of PCI/EISA Ethernet cards.
113 These include the DE425, DE434, DE435, DE450 and DE500 models. If
114 you have a network card of this type, say Y. More specific
115 information is contained in
116 <file:Documentation/networking/de4x5.txt>.

122 tristate "Winbond W89c840 Ethernet support"
127 This driver is for the Winbond W89c840 chip. It also works with
128 the TX9882 chip on the Compex RL100-ATX board.
129 More specific information and updates are available from
130 <http://www.scyld.com/network/drivers.html>.
133 tristate "Davicom DM910x/DM980x support"
137 This driver is for DM9102(A)/DM9132/DM9801 compatible PCI cards from
138 Davicom (<http://www.davicom.com.tw/>). If you have such a network
139 (Ethernet) card, say Y. Some information is contained in the file
140 <file:Documentation/networking/dmfe.txt>.

146 tristate "ULi M526x controller support"
150 This driver is for ULi M5261/M5263 10/100M Ethernet Controller
151 (<http://www.nvidia.com/page/uli_drivers.html>).
153 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
157 tristate "Xircom CardBus support"
160 This driver is for the Digital "Tulip" Ethernet CardBus adapters.
161 It should work with most DEC 21*4*-based chips/ethercards, as well
162 as with work-alike chips from Lite-On (PNIC) and Macronix (MXIC) and
165 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
166 be called xircom_cb. If unsure, say N.
