5 config NET_VENDOR_INTEL
9 If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y.
11 Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
12 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
13 the questions about Intel cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for
14 your specific card in the following questions.
19 tristate "Intel(R) PRO/100+ support"
23 This driver supports Intel(R) PRO/100 family of adapters.
24 To verify that your adapter is supported, find the board ID number
25 on the adapter. Look for a label that has a barcode and a number
26 in the format 123456-001 (six digits hyphen three digits).
28 Use the above information and the Adapter & Driver ID Guide that
