2 # 3Com Ethernet device configuration
8 depends on ISA || EISA || MCA || PCI || PCMCIA
10 If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y
11 and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
12 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
14 Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
15 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
16 the questions about 3Com cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for
17 your specific card in the following questions.
22 tristate "3c501 \"EtherLink\" support"
25 If you have a network (Ethernet) card of this type, say Y and read
26 the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
27 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Also, consider buying a
28 new card, since the 3c501 is slow, broken, and obsolete: you will
29 have problems. Some people suggest to ping ("man ping") a nearby
30 machine every minute ("man cron") when using this card.
32 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
36 tristate "3c509/3c529 (MCA)/3c579 \"EtherLink III\" support"
37 depends on (ISA || EISA || MCA)
39 If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to the 3Com
40 EtherLinkIII series, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available
41 from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
43 If your card is not working you may need to use the DOS
44 setup disk to disable Plug & Play mode, and to select the default
47 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
51 tristate "3c515 ISA \"Fast EtherLink\""
52 depends on (ISA || EISA) && ISA_DMA_API
54 If you have a 3Com ISA EtherLink XL "Corkscrew" 3c515 Fast Ethernet
55 network card, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
56 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
58 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
62 tristate "3Com 3c574 PCMCIA support"
65 Say Y here if you intend to attach a 3Com 3c574 or compatible PCMCIA
66 (PC-card) Fast Ethernet card to your computer.
68 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
69 called 3c574_cs. If unsure, say N.
72 tristate "3Com 3c589 PCMCIA support"
75 Say Y here if you intend to attach a 3Com 3c589 or compatible PCMCIA
76 (PC-card) Ethernet card to your computer.
78 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
79 called 3c589_cs. If unsure, say N.
82 tristate "3c590/3c900 series (592/595/597) \"Vortex/Boomerang\" support"
83 depends on (PCI || EISA)
86 This option enables driver support for a large number of 10Mbps and
87 10/100Mbps EISA, PCI and PCMCIA 3Com network cards:
89 "Vortex" (Fast EtherLink 3c590/3c592/3c595/3c597) EISA and PCI
90 "Boomerang" (EtherLink XL 3c900 or 3c905) PCI
91 "Cyclone" (3c540/3c900/3c905/3c980/3c575/3c656) PCI and Cardbus
93 "Hurricane" (3c555/3cSOHO) PCI
95 If you have such a card, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO,
96 available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. More
97 specific information is in
98 <file:Documentation/networking/vortex.txt> and in the comments at
99 the beginning of <file:drivers/net/3c59x.c>.
101 To compile this support as a module, choose M here.
104 tristate "3cr990 series \"Typhoon\" support"
108 This option enables driver support for the 3cr990 series of cards:
110 3C990-TX, 3CR990-TX-95, 3CR990-TX-97, 3CR990-FX-95, 3CR990-FX-97,
111 3CR990SVR, 3CR990SVR95, 3CR990SVR97, 3CR990-FX-95 Server,
112 3CR990-FX-97 Server, 3C990B-TX-M, 3C990BSVR
114 If you have a network (Ethernet) card of this type, say Y and read
115 the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
116 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
118 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
119 will be called typhoon.
