8 tristate "ARCnet support"
10 If you have a network card of this type, say Y and check out the
11 (arguably) beautiful poetry in
12 <file:Documentation/networking/arcnet.rst>.
14 You need both this driver, and the driver for the particular ARCnet
15 chipset of your card. If you don't know, then it's probably a
16 COM90xx type card, so say Y (or M) to "ARCnet COM90xx chipset
19 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
25 tristate "Enable standard ARCNet packet format (RFC 1201)"
27 This allows you to use RFC1201 with your ARCnet card via the virtual
28 arc0 device. You need to say Y here to communicate with
29 industry-standard RFC1201 implementations, like the arcether.com
30 packet driver or most DOS/Windows ODI drivers. Please read the
31 ARCnet documentation in <file:Documentation/networking/arcnet.rst>
32 for more information about using arc0.
35 tristate "Enable old ARCNet packet format (RFC 1051)"
37 This allows you to use RFC1051 with your ARCnet card via the virtual
38 arc0s device. You only need arc0s if you want to talk to ARCnet
39 software complying with the "old" standard, specifically, the DOS
40 arcnet.com packet driver, Amigas running AmiTCP, and some variants
41 of NetBSD. You do not need to say Y here to communicate with
42 industry-standard RFC1201 implementations, like the arcether.com
43 packet driver or most DOS/Windows ODI drivers. RFC1201 is included
44 automatically as the arc0 device. Please read the ARCnet
45 documentation in <file:Documentation/networking/arcnet.rst> for more
46 information about using arc0e and arc0s.
49 tristate "Enable raw mode packet interface"
51 ARCnet "raw mode" packet encapsulation, no soft headers. Unlikely
52 to work unless talking to a copy of the same Linux arcnet driver,
53 but perhaps marginally faster in that case.
56 tristate "Enable CAP mode packet interface"
58 ARCnet "cap mode" packet encapsulation. Used to get the hardware
59 acknowledge back to userspace. After the initial protocol byte every
60 packet is stuffed with an extra 4 byte "cookie" which doesn't
61 actually appear on the network. After transmit the driver will send
62 back a packet with protocol byte 0 containing the status of the
64 0=no hardware acknowledge
66 2=transmission accepted by the receiver hardware
68 Received packets are also stuffed with the extra 4 bytes but it will
71 Cap only listens to protocol 1-8.
74 tristate "ARCnet COM90xx (normal) chipset driver"
76 This is the chipset driver for the standard COM90xx cards. If you
77 have always used the old ARCnet driver without knowing what type of
78 card you had, this is probably the one for you.
80 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
83 config ARCNET_COM90xxIO
84 tristate "ARCnet COM90xx (IO mapped) chipset driver"
86 This is the chipset driver for the COM90xx cards, using them in
87 IO-mapped mode instead of memory-mapped mode. This is slower than
88 the normal driver. Only use it if your card doesn't support shared
91 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
95 tristate "ARCnet COM90xx (RIM I) chipset driver"
97 This is yet another chipset driver for the COM90xx cards, but this
98 time only using memory-mapped mode, and no IO ports at all. This
99 driver is completely untested, so if you have one of these cards,
100 please mail <dwmw2@infradead.org>, especially if it works!
102 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
105 config ARCNET_COM20020
106 tristate "ARCnet COM20020 chipset driver"
107 depends on LEDS_CLASS
109 This is the driver for the new COM20020 chipset. It supports such
110 things as promiscuous mode, so packet sniffing is possible, and
111 extra diagnostic information.
113 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
116 config ARCNET_COM20020_ISA
117 tristate "Support for COM20020 on ISA"
118 depends on ARCNET_COM20020 && ISA
120 config ARCNET_COM20020_PCI
121 tristate "Support for COM20020 on PCI"
122 depends on ARCNET_COM20020 && PCI
124 config ARCNET_COM20020_CS
125 tristate "COM20020 ARCnet PCMCIA support"
126 depends on ARCNET_COM20020 && PCMCIA
128 Say Y here if you intend to attach this type of ARCnet PCMCIA card
131 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
132 called com20020_cs. If unsure, say N.
