2 # Realtek device configuration
5 config NET_VENDOR_REALTEK
8 depends on PCI || (PARPORT && X86)
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 Realtek devices. If you say Y, you will be asked for
17 your specific card in the following questions.
22 tristate "AT-LAN-TEC/RealTek pocket adapter support"
23 depends on PARPORT && X86
26 This is a network (Ethernet) device which attaches to your parallel
27 port. Read <file:drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/atp.c> as well as the
28 Ethernet-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>,
29 if you want to use this. If you intend to use this driver, you
30 should have said N to the "Parallel printer support", because the two
31 drivers don't like each other.
33 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
37 tristate "RealTek RTL-8139 C+ PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support"
42 This is a driver for the Fast Ethernet PCI network cards based on
43 the RTL8139C+ chips. If you have one of those, say Y and read
44 the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
45 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
47 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
48 will be called 8139cp. This is recommended.
51 tristate "RealTek RTL-8129/8130/8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support"
56 This is a driver for the Fast Ethernet PCI network cards based on
57 the RTL 8129/8130/8139 chips. If you have one of those, say Y and
58 read the Ethernet-HOWTO <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
60 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
61 will be called 8139too. This is recommended.
64 bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
68 This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
69 of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
70 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
73 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
74 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
77 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
78 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
79 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
80 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
81 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
85 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
88 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
89 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
90 instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
91 memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.
93 config 8139_OLD_RX_RESET
94 bool "Use older RX-reset method"
97 The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
98 reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
99 RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you
100 experience problems, you can enable this option to restore the
101 old RX-reset behavior. If unsure, say N.
104 tristate "Realtek 8169 gigabit ethernet support"
110 Say Y here if you have a Realtek 8169 PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapter.
112 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
113 will be called r8169. This is recommended.
