11 If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y.
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 Realtek devices. If you say Y, you will be asked for
16 your specific card in the following questions.
21 tristate "AT-LAN-TEC/RealTek pocket adapter support"
22 depends on PARPORT && X86
25 This is a network (Ethernet) device which attaches to your parallel
26 port. Read the file <file:drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/atp.c>
27 if you want to use this. If you intend to use this driver, you
28 should have said N to the "Parallel printer support", because the two
29 drivers don't like each other.
31 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
35 tristate "RealTek RTL-8139 C+ PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support"
40 This is a driver for the Fast Ethernet PCI network cards based on
41 the RTL8139C+ chips. If you have one of those, say Y here.
43 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
44 will be called 8139cp. This is recommended.
47 tristate "RealTek RTL-8129/8130/8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support"
52 This is a driver for the Fast Ethernet PCI network cards based on
53 the RTL 8129/8130/8139 chips. If you have one of those, say Y here.
55 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
56 will be called 8139too. This is recommended.
59 bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
63 This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
64 of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
65 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
68 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
69 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
72 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
73 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
74 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
75 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
76 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
80 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
83 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
84 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
85 instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
86 memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.
88 config 8139_OLD_RX_RESET
89 bool "Use older RX-reset method"
92 The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
93 reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
94 RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you
95 experience problems, you can enable this option to restore the
96 old RX-reset behavior. If unsure, say N.
99 tristate "Realtek 8169/8168/8101/8125 ethernet support"
106 Say Y here if you have a Realtek Ethernet adapter belonging to
107 the following families:
108 RTL8169 Gigabit Ethernet
109 RTL8168 Gigabit Ethernet
110 RTL8101 Fast Ethernet
111 RTL8125 2.5GBit Ethernet
113 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
114 will be called r8169. This is recommended.
