6 depends on NETDEVICES && (ISA || PCI || PCMCIA)
9 If you have a network card of this type, say Y and check out the
10 (arguably) beautiful poetry in
11 <file:Documentation/networking/arcnet.txt>.
13 You need both this driver, and the driver for the particular ARCnet
14 chipset of your card. If you don't know, then it's probably a
15 COM90xx type card, so say Y (or M) to "ARCnet COM90xx chipset
18 You might also want to have a look at the Ethernet-HOWTO, available
19 from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>(even though ARCnet
20 is not really Ethernet).
22 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
28 tristate "Enable standard ARCNet packet format (RFC 1201)"
30 This allows you to use RFC1201 with your ARCnet card via the virtual
31 arc0 device. You need to say Y here to communicate with
32 industry-standard RFC1201 implementations, like the arcether.com
33 packet driver or most DOS/Windows ODI drivers. Please read the
34 ARCnet documentation in <file:Documentation/networking/arcnet.txt>
35 for more information about using arc0.
38 tristate "Enable old ARCNet packet format (RFC 1051)"
40 This allows you to use RFC1051 with your ARCnet card via the virtual
41 arc0s device. You only need arc0s if you want to talk to ARCnet
42 software complying with the "old" standard, specifically, the DOS
43 arcnet.com packet driver, Amigas running AmiTCP, and some variants
44 of NetBSD. You do not need to say Y here to communicate with
45 industry-standard RFC1201 implementations, like the arcether.com
46 packet driver or most DOS/Windows ODI drivers. RFC1201 is included
47 automatically as the arc0 device. Please read the ARCnet
48 documentation in <file:Documentation/networking/arcnet.txt> for more
49 information about using arc0e and arc0s.
52 tristate "Enable raw mode packet interface"
54 ARCnet "raw mode" packet encapsulation, no soft headers. Unlikely
55 to work unless talking to a copy of the same Linux arcnet driver,
56 but perhaps marginally faster in that case.
59 tristate "Enable CAP mode packet interface"
61 ARCnet "cap mode" packet encapsulation. Used to get the hardware
62 acknowledge back to userspace. After the initial protocol byte every
63 packet is stuffed with an extra 4 byte "cookie" which doesn't
64 actually appear on the network. After transmit the driver will send
65 back a packet with protocol byte 0 containing the status of the
67 0=no hardware acknowledge
69 2=transmission accepted by the receiver hardware
71 Received packets are also stuffed with the extra 4 bytes but it will
74 Cap only listens to protocol 1-8.
77 tristate "ARCnet COM90xx (normal) chipset driver"
79 This is the chipset driver for the standard COM90xx cards. If you
80 have always used the old ARCnet driver without knowing what type of
81 card you had, this is probably the one for you.
83 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
86 config ARCNET_COM90xxIO
87 tristate "ARCnet COM90xx (IO mapped) chipset driver"
89 This is the chipset driver for the COM90xx cards, using them in
90 IO-mapped mode instead of memory-mapped mode. This is slower than
91 the normal driver. Only use it if your card doesn't support shared
94 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
98 tristate "ARCnet COM90xx (RIM I) chipset driver"
100 This is yet another chipset driver for the COM90xx cards, but this
101 time only using memory-mapped mode, and no IO ports at all. This
102 driver is completely untested, so if you have one of these cards,
103 please mail <dwmw2@infradead.org>, especially if it works!
105 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
108 config ARCNET_COM20020
109 tristate "ARCnet COM20020 chipset driver"
111 This is the driver for the new COM20020 chipset. It supports such
112 things as promiscuous mode, so packet sniffing is possible, and
113 extra diagnostic information.
115 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
118 config ARCNET_COM20020_ISA
119 tristate "Support for COM20020 on ISA"
120 depends on ARCNET_COM20020 && ISA
122 config ARCNET_COM20020_PCI
123 tristate "Support for COM20020 on PCI"
124 depends on ARCNET_COM20020 && PCI
126 config ARCNET_COM20020_CS
127 tristate "COM20020 ARCnet PCMCIA support"
128 depends on ARCNET_COM20020 && PCMCIA
130 Say Y here if you intend to attach this type of ARCnet PCMCIA card
133 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
134 called com20020_cs. If unsure, say N.
