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"
27 This driver supports Intel(R) PRO/100 family of adapters.
28 To verify that your adapter is supported, find the board ID number
29 on the adapter. Look for a label that has a barcode and a number
30 in the format 123456-001 (six digits hyphen three digits).
32 Use the above information and the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
34 <http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>
36 to identify the adapter.

71 depends on PCI && (!SPARC32 || BROKEN)
74 This driver supports the PCI-Express Intel(R) PRO/1000 gigabit
75 ethernet family of adapters. For PCI or PCI-X e1000 adapters,
76 use the regular e1000 driver For more information on how to
77 identify your adapter, go to the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
79 <http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>
81 For general information and support, go to the Intel support
84 <http://support.intel.com>
86 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
87 will be called e1000e.
90 tristate "Intel(R) 82575/82576 PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet support"
93 This driver supports Intel(R) 82575/82576 gigabit ethernet family of
94 adapters. For more information on how to identify your adapter, go
95 to the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
97 <http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>
99 For general information and support, go to the Intel support

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

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

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

182 bool "Direct Cache Access (DCA) Support"
184 depends on IXGBE && DCA && !(IXGBE=y && DCA=m)
186 Say Y here if you want to use Direct Cache Access (DCA) in the
187 driver. DCA is a method for warming the CPU cache before data
188 is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses.
191 bool "Data Center Bridging (DCB) Support"
193 depends on IXGBE && DCB
195 Say Y here if you want to use Data Center Bridging (DCB) in the
201 tristate "Intel(R) 82599 Virtual Function Ethernet support"
