2 # Intel network device configuration
5 config NET_VENDOR_INTEL
8 depends on PCI || PCI_MSI
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 Intel cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for
17 your specific card in the following questions.
22 tristate "Intel(R) PRO/100+ support"
26 This driver supports Intel(R) PRO/100 family of adapters.
27 To verify that your adapter is supported, find the board ID number
28 on the adapter. Look for a label that has a barcode and a number
29 in the format 123456-001 (six digits hyphen three digits).
31 Use the above information and the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
33 <http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>
35 to identify the adapter.

83 <http://support.intel.com>
85 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
86 will be called e1000e.
89 tristate "Intel(R) 82575/82576 PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet support"
92 This driver supports Intel(R) 82575/82576 gigabit ethernet family of
93 adapters. For more information on how to identify your adapter, go
94 to the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
96 <http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>
98 For general information and support, go to the Intel support

110 bool "Direct Cache Access (DCA) Support"
112 depends on IGB && DCA && !(IGB=y && DCA=m)
114 Say Y here if you want to use Direct Cache Access (DCA) in the
115 driver. DCA is a method for warming the CPU cache before data
116 is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses.
119 tristate "Intel(R) 82576 Virtual Function Ethernet support"
122 This driver supports Intel(R) 82576 virtual functions. For more

128 For general information and support, go to the Intel support
131 <http://support.intel.com>
133 More specific information on configuring the driver is in
134 <file:Documentation/networking/e1000.txt>.
136 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
137 will be called igbvf.
140 tristate "Intel(R) PRO/10GbE support"
143 This driver supports Intel(R) PRO/10GbE family of adapters for
144 PCI-X type cards. For PCI-E type cards, use the "ixgbe" driver
145 instead. For more information on how to identify your adapter, go
146 to the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
148 <http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>
150 For general information and support, go to the Intel support
153 <http://support.intel.com>

156 <file:Documentation/networking/ixgb.txt>.
158 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
162 tristate "Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express adapters support"
163 depends on PCI && INET
166 This driver supports Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express family of
167 adapters. For more information on how to identify your adapter, go
168 to the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
170 <http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>

183 depends on IXGBE && DCA && !(IXGBE=y && DCA=m)
185 Say Y here if you want to use Direct Cache Access (DCA) in the
186 driver. DCA is a method for warming the CPU cache before data
187 is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses.
190 bool "Data Center Bridging (DCB) Support"
