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.

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.

94 will be called macvlan.
97 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
99 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
100 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
101 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
102 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
103 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
104 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
105 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
107 Say Y if you want this and read
108 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
109 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from

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

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

181 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
182 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
184 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
185 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
186 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
187 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
188 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
189 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
190 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
191 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
192 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
194 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
195 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
196 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from

1566 bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
1570 This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
1571 of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
1572 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
1575 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
1576 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
1579 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
1580 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
1581 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
1582 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
1583 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
1587 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
1590 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
1591 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
1592 instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
1593 memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.
1595 config 8139_OLD_RX_RESET
1596 bool "Use older RX-reset method"
1599 The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
1600 reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
1601 RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you
1602 experience problems, you can enable this option to restore the
1603 old RX-reset behavior. If unsure, say N.

2654 depends on (PCI || EISA || TC)
2656 Fiber Distributed Data Interface is a high speed local area network
2657 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2658 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and
2659 want a driver for the FDDI card in your computer, say Y here (and
2660 then also Y to the driver for your FDDI card, below). Most people
2664 tristate "Digital DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapter support"
2665 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2667 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2668 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2669 to a local FDDI network.
2671 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2672 will be called defxx. If unsure, say N.
2676 prompt "Use MMIO instead of PIO" if PCI || EISA
2678 default n if PCI || EISA
2681 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2682 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2683 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2684 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2685 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2686 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.
2691 tristate "SysKonnect FDDI PCI support"
2692 depends on FDDI && PCI
2695 Say Y here if you have a SysKonnect FDDI PCI adapter.
2696 The following adapters are supported by this driver:

2723 bool "HIPPI driver support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2724 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && INET && PCI
2726 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2727 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2728 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2729 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2730 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2731 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2732 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2733 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2736 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2737 depends on HIPPI && PCI
2739 Say Y here if this is your PCI HIPPI network card.
2741 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2742 will be called rrunner. If unsure, say N.
2744 config ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS
2745 bool "Use large TX/RX rings (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2746 depends on ROADRUNNER
2748 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2749 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2750 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2751 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2755 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2758 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2759 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2760 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2761 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2762 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2763 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2764 enabled for this to work.
2766 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2767 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2768 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2769 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2770 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2771 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2772 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2773 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2774 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2775 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2776 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2778 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2779 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2780 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2781 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2782 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2783 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2785 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2786 will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
2790 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2793 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2794 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2795 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2796 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2797 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2799 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2800 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2801 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2802 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2803 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2805 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2806 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2807 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2808 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2809 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2810 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2811 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2812 synchronous PPP", below.
2814 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2815 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2816 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2817 here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
2819 config PPP_MULTILINK
2820 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2821 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2823 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2824 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2825 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2827 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2828 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2833 bool "PPP filtering"
2836 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2837 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2838 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2839 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2840 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2841 active-filter options to pppd.
2846 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2850 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2851 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2852 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2855 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2860 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2863 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2864 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2865 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2867 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2870 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2875 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2876 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2877 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2878 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2879 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2880 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2882 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2885 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2888 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2889 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2890 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2891 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2892 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2893 it is safe to say Y here.
2895 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2896 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2899 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2900 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2901 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2904 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2905 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2911 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2912 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2914 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2915 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2918 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2919 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2921 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2923 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2924 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2925 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2926 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2927 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2930 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2931 depends on ATM && PPP
2933 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2934 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2935 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2936 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2939 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2940 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && INET
2942 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
2943 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
2944 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
2946 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
2947 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
2948 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
2949 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).
2952 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2954 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2955 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2956 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2957 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2958 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2959 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2960 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2963 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2964 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2965 around (available from
2966 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2967 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2968 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2969 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2970 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2971 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2972 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2973 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2974 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2975 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2976 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2978 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2979 will be called slip.
2981 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2982 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2986 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2987 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2988 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2989 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2990 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2991 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2992 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2993 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2994 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2995 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
3000 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
3004 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
3007 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
3008 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
3011 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
3012 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
3015 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3016 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3017 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3018 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3019 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3020 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3021 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
3024 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
3025 depends on SCSI && PCI
3027 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
3028 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
3029 intended to replace SCSI.
3031 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
3032 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
3033 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
3034 "SCSI generic support".
3037 tristate "Traffic Shaper (OBSOLETE)"
3038 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
3040 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
3041 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
3042 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
3043 these virtual devices. See
3044 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
3046 An alternative to this traffic shaper are traffic schedulers which
3047 you'll get if you say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" in
3048 "Networking options".
3050 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
3051 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
3054 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3055 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
3057 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
3058 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3060 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
3061 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3062 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS && EXPERIMENTAL
3065 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
3066 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
3067 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
3068 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3074 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
3078 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
3082 tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3083 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO
3085 This is the virtual network driver for lguest. Say Y or M.
