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.
12 Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
13 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
14 the questions about Realtek devices. If you say Y, you will be asked for
15 your specific card in the following questions.
20 tristate "AT-LAN-TEC/RealTek pocket adapter support"
21 depends on PARPORT && X86
24 This is a network (Ethernet) device which attaches to your parallel
25 port. Read the file <file:drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/atp.c>
26 if you want to use this. If you intend to use this driver, you
27 should have said N to the "Parallel printer support", because the two
28 drivers don't like each other.
30 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
34 tristate "RealTek RTL-8139 C+ PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support"
39 This is a driver for the Fast Ethernet PCI network cards based on
40 the RTL8139C+ chips. If you have one of those, say Y here.
42 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
43 will be called 8139cp. This is recommended.
46 tristate "RealTek RTL-8129/8130/8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support"
51 This is a driver for the Fast Ethernet PCI network cards based on
52 the RTL 8129/8130/8139 chips. If you have one of those, say Y here.
54 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
55 will be called 8139too. This is recommended.
58 bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
62 This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
63 of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
64 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
67 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
68 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
71 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
72 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
73 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
74 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
75 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
79 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
82 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
83 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
84 instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
85 memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.
87 config 8139_OLD_RX_RESET
88 bool "Use older RX-reset method"
91 The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
92 reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
93 RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you
94 experience problems, you can enable this option to restore the
95 old RX-reset behavior. If unsure, say N.
98 tristate "Realtek 8169 gigabit ethernet support"
104 Say Y here if you have a Realtek 8169 PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapter.
106 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
107 will be called r8169. This is recommended.
