5 tristate "Appletalk protocol support"
6 depends on BKL # waiting to be removed from net/appletalk/ddp.c
9 AppleTalk is the protocol that Apple computers can use to communicate
10 on a network. If your Linux box is connected to such a network and you
11 wish to connect to it, say Y. You will need to use the netatalk package
12 so that your Linux box can act as a print and file server for Macs as
13 well as access AppleTalk printers. Check out
14 <http://www.zettabyte.net/netatalk/> on the WWW for details.
15 EtherTalk is the name used for AppleTalk over Ethernet and the
16 cheaper and slower LocalTalk is AppleTalk over a proprietary Apple
17 network using serial links. EtherTalk and LocalTalk are fully
20 General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
21 Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>. The
22 NET3-4-HOWTO, available from
23 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable
26 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
27 called appletalk. You almost certainly want to compile it as a
28 module so you can restart your AppleTalk stack without rebooting
29 your machine. I hear that the GNU boycott of Apple is over, so
30 even politically correct people are allowed to say Y here.
33 tristate "Appletalk interfaces support"
36 AppleTalk is the protocol that Apple computers can use to communicate
37 on a network. If your Linux box is connected to such a network, and wish
38 to do IP over it, or you have a LocalTalk card and wish to use it to
39 connect to the AppleTalk network, say Y.
43 tristate "Apple/Farallon LocalTalk PC support"
44 depends on DEV_APPLETALK && (ISA || EISA) && ISA_DMA_API
46 This allows you to use the AppleTalk PC card to connect to LocalTalk
47 networks. The card is also known as the Farallon PhoneNet PC card.
48 If you are in doubt, this card is the one with the 65C02 chip on it.
49 You also need version 1.3.3 or later of the netatalk package.
50 This driver is experimental, which means that it may not work.
51 See the file <file:Documentation/networking/ltpc.txt>.
54 tristate "COPS LocalTalk PC support"
55 depends on DEV_APPLETALK && (ISA || EISA)
57 This allows you to use COPS AppleTalk cards to connect to LocalTalk
58 networks. You also need version 1.3.3 or later of the netatalk
59 package. This driver is experimental, which means that it may not
60 work. This driver will only work if you choose "AppleTalk DDP"
61 networking support, above.
62 Please read the file <file:Documentation/networking/cops.txt>.
65 bool "Dayna firmware support"
68 Support COPS compatible cards with Dayna style firmware (Dayna
69 DL2000/ Daynatalk/PC (half length), COPS LT-95, Farallon PhoneNET PC
70 III, Farallon PhoneNET PC II).
73 bool "Tangent firmware support"
76 Support COPS compatible cards with Tangent style firmware (Tangent
77 ATB_II, Novell NL-1000, Daystar Digital LT-200.
80 tristate "Appletalk-IP driver support"
81 depends on DEV_APPLETALK && ATALK
83 This allows IP networking for users who only have AppleTalk
84 networking available. This feature is experimental. With this
85 driver, you can encapsulate IP inside AppleTalk (e.g. if your Linux
86 box is stuck on an AppleTalk only network) or decapsulate (e.g. if
87 you want your Linux box to act as an Internet gateway for a zoo of
88 AppleTalk connected Macs). Please see the file
89 <file:Documentation/networking/ipddp.txt> for more information.
91 If you say Y here, the AppleTalk-IP support will be compiled into
92 the kernel. In this case, you can either use encapsulation or
93 decapsulation, but not both. With the following two questions, you
94 decide which one you want.
96 To compile the AppleTalk-IP support as a module, choose M here: the
97 module will be called ipddp.
98 In this case, you will be able to use both encapsulation and
99 decapsulation simultaneously, by loading two copies of the module
100 and specifying different values for the module option ipddp_mode.
103 bool "IP to Appletalk-IP Encapsulation support"
106 If you say Y here, the AppleTalk-IP code will be able to encapsulate
107 IP packets inside AppleTalk frames; this is useful if your Linux box
108 is stuck on an AppleTalk network (which hopefully contains a
109 decapsulator somewhere). Please see
110 <file:Documentation/networking/ipddp.txt> for more information. If
111 you said Y to "AppleTalk-IP driver support" above and you say Y
112 here, then you cannot say Y to "AppleTalk-IP to IP Decapsulation
116 bool "Appletalk-IP to IP Decapsulation support"
119 If you say Y here, the AppleTalk-IP code will be able to decapsulate
120 AppleTalk-IP frames to IP packets; this is useful if you want your
121 Linux box to act as an Internet gateway for an AppleTalk network.
122 Please see <file:Documentation/networking/ipddp.txt> for more
123 information. If you said Y to "AppleTalk-IP driver support" above
124 and you say Y here, then you cannot say Y to "IP to AppleTalk-IP
125 Encapsulation support", above.
