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

35 This is an intermidiate driver that allows sharing of
37 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
38 will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
39 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
40 Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
42 Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
45 tristate "Dummy net driver support"
47 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
48 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
49 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
50 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
51 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
52 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
53 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
54 Administrator's Guide, available from
55 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
57 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
58 will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
59 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
60 Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
64 tristate "Bonding driver support"
67 Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
68 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
69 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
71 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
72 performance and high availability operation.
74 Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
77 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
78 will be called bonding.
81 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
83 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
84 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
85 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
86 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
87 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
88 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
89 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
91 Say Y if you want this and read
92 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
93 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
94 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
96 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
97 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
100 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
103 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
104 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
105 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
106 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
107 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
109 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
110 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
111 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
112 all routes corresponding to it.
114 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
117 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
120 If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.
123 tristate "General Instruments Surfboard 1000"
126 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
127 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
128 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
129 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
130 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
131 provided by your regular phone modem.
133 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
134 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
135 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
136 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
137 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

158 bool "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)"
160 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
161 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
163 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
164 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
165 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
166 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
167 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
168 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
169 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
170 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
171 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
173 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
174 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
175 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
176 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
177 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.

180 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
181 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
184 tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"

210 MACE ethernet chip have an Apple AUI port (small 15-pin connector),
211 instead of an 8-pin RJ45 connector for twisted-pair ethernet. Say
212 Y here if you have such a machine. If unsure, say N.
213 The driver will default to AAUI on ANS anyway, and if you use it as
214 a module, you can provide the port_aaui=0|1 to force the driver.

1661 The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
1662 reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
1663 RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you

2049 will be called r8169. This is recommended.
2052 bool "Use Rx and Tx Polling (NAPI) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2053 depends on R8169 && EXPERIMENTAL
2055 NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
2056 when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
2057 still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
2059 If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
2060 deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
2063 See <file:Documentation/networking/NAPI_HOWTO.txt> for more

2532 bool "HIPPI driver support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2533 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && INET && PCI
2535 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2536 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2537 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2538 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2539 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2540 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2541 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2542 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2545 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2546 depends on HIPPI && PCI
2548 Say Y here if this is your PCI HIPPI network card.
2550 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2551 will be called rrunner. If unsure, say N.
2553 config ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS
2554 bool "Use large TX/RX rings (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2555 depends on ROADRUNNER
2557 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2558 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2559 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2560 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2564 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2567 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2568 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2569 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2570 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2571 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2572 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2573 enabled for this to work.
2575 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2576 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2577 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2578 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2579 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2580 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2581 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2582 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2583 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2584 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2585 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2587 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2588 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2589 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2590 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2591 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2592 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2594 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2595 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2596 called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
2600 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2603 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2604 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2605 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2606 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2607 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2609 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2610 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2611 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2612 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2613 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2615 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2616 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2617 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2618 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2619 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2620 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2621 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2622 synchronous PPP", below.
2624 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2625 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2626 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2627 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2628 The module will be called ppp_generic.
2630 config PPP_MULTILINK
2631 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2632 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2634 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2635 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2636 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2638 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2639 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2644 bool "PPP filtering"
2647 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2648 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2649 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2650 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2651 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2652 active-filter options to pppd.
2657 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2661 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2662 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2663 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2666 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2671 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2674 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2675 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2676 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2678 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2681 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2686 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2687 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2688 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2689 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2690 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2691 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2693 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2696 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2699 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2700 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2701 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2702 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2703 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2704 it is safe to say Y here.
2706 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2707 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2710 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2711 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2712 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2715 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2716 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2722 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2723 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2725 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2726 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2729 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2730 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2732 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2734 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2735 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2736 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2737 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2738 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2741 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2742 depends on ATM && PPP
2744 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2745 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2746 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2747 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2750 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2752 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2753 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2754 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2755 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2756 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2757 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2758 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2761 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2762 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2763 around (available from
2764 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2765 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2766 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2767 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2768 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2769 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2770 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2771 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2772 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2773 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2774 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2776 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2777 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2780 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2781 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2785 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2786 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2787 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2788 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2789 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2790 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2791 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2792 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2793 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2794 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2799 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
2803 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2806 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2807 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2810 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2811 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2814 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2815 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2816 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2817 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2818 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2819 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2820 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2823 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2824 depends on SCSI && PCI
2826 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2827 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2828 intended to replace SCSI.
2830 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2831 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2832 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2833 "SCSI generic support".
2836 tristate "Traffic Shaper (OBSOLETE)"
2837 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2839 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2840 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2841 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2842 these virtual devices. See
2843 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2845 An alternative to this traffic shaper are traffic schedulers which
2846 you'll get if you say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" in
2847 "Networking options".
2849 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2850 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
2853 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2854 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2856 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2857 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
2865 bool "Netpoll support for trapping incoming packets"
2870 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
2874 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
