2 # Intel network device configuration
5 config NET_VENDOR_INTEL
9 If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y
10 and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
11 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
13 Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
14 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
15 the questions about Intel cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for
16 your specific card in the following questions.
21 tristate "Intel(R) PRO/100+ support"
25 This driver supports Intel(R) PRO/100 family of adapters.
26 To verify that your adapter is supported, find the board ID number
