9 bool "Network device support"
11 You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
12 any other computer at all.
14 You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
15 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
16 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
17 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
18 AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.

43 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
44 will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
45 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
46 Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
48 Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
51 tristate "Dummy net driver support"
53 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
54 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
55 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
56 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
57 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
58 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
59 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
60 Administrator's Guide, available from
61 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
63 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
64 will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
65 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
66 Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
70 tristate "Bonding driver support"
73 Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
74 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
75 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
77 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
78 performance and high availability operation.

105 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
107 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
108 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
109 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
110 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
111 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
112 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
113 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
115 Say Y if you want this and read
116 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
117 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from

121 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
124 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
127 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
128 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
129 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
130 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
131 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
133 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
134 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
135 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
136 all routes corresponding to it.
138 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more

157 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
158 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
159 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
160 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
161 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
162 provided by your regular phone modem.
164 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
165 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
166 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
167 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing

189 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
190 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
192 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
193 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
194 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
195 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
196 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
197 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
198 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
199 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
200 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
202 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
203 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
204 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
205 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
206 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
208 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
209 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
210 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
215 tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"
217 Most ethernet controllers have MII transceiver either as an external
218 or internal device. It is safe to say Y or M here even if your

267 MACE ethernet chip have an Apple AUI port (small 15-pin connector),
268 instead of an 8-pin RJ45 connector for twisted-pair ethernet. Say
269 Y here if you have such a machine. If unsure, say N.

1589 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
1592 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
1593 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
1596 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
1597 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
1598 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
1599 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
1600 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
1604 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
1607 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
1608 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
1609 instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
1610 memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.
1612 config 8139_OLD_RX_RESET
1613 bool "Use older RX-reset method"
1616 The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
1617 reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
1618 RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you

2744 Fiber Distributed Data Interface is a high speed local area network
2745 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2746 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and
2747 want a driver for the FDDI card in your computer, say Y here (and
2748 then also Y to the driver for your FDDI card, below). Most people
2752 tristate "Digital DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapter support"
2753 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2755 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2756 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2757 to a local FDDI network.
2759 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module

2769 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2770 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2771 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2772 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2773 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2774 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.

2827 Say Y here if this is your PCI HIPPI network card.
2829 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2830 will be called rrunner. If unsure, say N.
2832 config ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS
2833 bool "Use large TX/RX rings (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2834 depends on ROADRUNNER
2836 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2837 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2838 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2839 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2843 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2846 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2847 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2848 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2849 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2850 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2851 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2852 enabled for this to work.
2854 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2855 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2856 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2857 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2858 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2859 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2860 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2861 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2862 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2863 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2864 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2866 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2867 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2868 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2869 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2870 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2871 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2873 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2874 will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
2878 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2881 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2882 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2883 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2884 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2885 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2887 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2888 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2889 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2890 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2891 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2893 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2894 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2895 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2896 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2897 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2898 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2899 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2900 synchronous PPP", below.
2902 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2903 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2904 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2905 here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
2907 config PPP_MULTILINK
2908 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2909 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2911 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2912 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2913 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2915 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2916 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2921 bool "PPP filtering"
2924 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2925 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2926 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2927 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2928 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2929 active-filter options to pppd.
2934 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2938 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2939 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2940 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2943 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2948 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2951 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2952 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2953 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2955 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2958 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2963 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2964 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2965 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2966 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2967 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2968 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2970 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2973 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2976 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2977 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2978 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2979 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2980 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2981 it is safe to say Y here.
2983 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2984 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2987 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2988 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2989 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2992 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2993 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2999 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
3000 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
3002 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
3003 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
3006 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3007 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
3009 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
3011 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
3012 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
3013 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
3014 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
3015 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
3018 tristate "PPP over ATM"
3019 depends on ATM && PPP
3021 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
3022 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
3023 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
3024 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
3027 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3028 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && INET
3030 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
3031 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
3032 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
3034 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
3035 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
3036 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
3037 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).
3040 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
3042 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
3043 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
3044 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
3045 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
3046 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
3047 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
3048 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
3051 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
3052 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
3053 around (available from
3054 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3055 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
3056 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
3057 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3058 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
3059 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
3060 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
3061 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
3062 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
3063 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
3064 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
3066 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
3067 will be called slip.
3069 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
3070 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
3074 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
3075 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
3076 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
3077 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3078 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
3079 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3080 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
3081 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3082 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
3083 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
3088 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
3092 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
3095 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
3096 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
3099 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
3100 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
3103 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3104 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3105 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3106 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3107 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3108 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3109 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
3112 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
3113 depends on SCSI && PCI
3115 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
3116 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
3117 intended to replace SCSI.
3119 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
3120 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
3121 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
3122 "SCSI generic support".
3125 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3126 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
3128 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
3129 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3131 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
3132 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3133 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS && EXPERIMENTAL
3136 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
3137 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
3138 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
3139 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3145 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
3149 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
3153 tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3154 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO
3156 This is the virtual network driver for virtio. It can be used with
3157 lguest or QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M.
