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.

30 tristate "Intermediate Functional Block support"
31 depends on NET_CLS_ACT
33 This is an intermediate driver that allows sharing of
35 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
36 will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
37 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
38 Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
40 Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
43 tristate "Dummy net driver support"
45 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
46 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
47 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
48 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
49 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
50 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
51 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
52 Administrator's Guide, available from
53 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
55 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
56 will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
57 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
58 Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
62 tristate "Bonding driver support"
65 Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
66 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
67 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
69 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
70 performance and high availability operation.
72 Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
75 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
76 will be called bonding.
79 tristate "MAC-VLAN support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
80 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
82 This allows one to create virtual interfaces that map packets to
83 or from specific MAC addresses to a particular interface.
85 Macvlan devices can be added using the "ip" command from the
86 iproute2 package starting with the iproute2-2.6.23 release:
88 "ip link add link <real dev> [ address MAC ] [ NAME ] type macvlan"
90 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
91 will be called macvlan.
94 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
96 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
97 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
98 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
99 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
100 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
101 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
102 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
104 Say Y if you want this and read
105 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
106 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
107 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
109 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
110 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
113 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
116 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
117 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
118 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
119 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
120 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
122 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
123 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
124 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
125 all routes corresponding to it.
127 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
130 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
133 If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.

143 tristate "General Instruments Surfboard 1000"
146 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
147 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
148 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
149 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
150 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
151 provided by your regular phone modem.
153 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
154 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
155 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
156 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
157 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

175 bool "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)"
178 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
179 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
181 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
182 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
183 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
184 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
185 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
186 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
187 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
188 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
189 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
191 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
192 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
193 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
194 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
195 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
197 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
198 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
199 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
204 tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"
206 Most ethernet controllers have MII transceiver either as an external
207 or internal device. It is safe to say Y or M here even if your

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

1554 in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
1557 config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
1558 bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
1561 This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
1562 are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
1563 RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
1564 to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
1565 experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
1569 bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
1572 This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
1573 RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,

2213 This option adds the support for the wireless feature of PS3.
2214 If you have the wireless-less model of PS3 or have no plan to
2215 use wireless feature, disabling this option saves memory. As
2216 the driver automatically distinguishes the models, you can
2217 safely enable this option even if you have a wireless-less model.

2550 Fiber Distributed Data Interface is a high speed local area network
2551 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2552 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and
2553 want a driver for the FDDI card in your computer, say Y here (and
2554 then also Y to the driver for your FDDI card, below). Most people
2558 tristate "Digital DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapter support"
2559 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2561 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2562 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2563 to a local FDDI network.
2565 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module

2575 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2576 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2577 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2578 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2579 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2580 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.
2585 tristate "SysKonnect FDDI PCI support"

2620 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2621 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2622 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2623 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2624 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2625 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2626 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2627 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2630 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2631 depends on HIPPI && PCI

2642 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2643 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2644 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2645 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2649 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2652 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2653 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2654 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2655 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2656 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2657 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2658 enabled for this to work.
2660 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2661 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2662 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2663 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2664 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2665 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2666 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2667 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2668 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2669 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2670 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2672 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2673 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2674 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2675 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2676 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2677 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2679 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2680 will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
2684 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2687 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2688 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2689 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2690 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2691 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2693 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2694 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2695 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2696 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2697 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2699 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2700 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2701 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2702 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2703 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2704 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2705 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2706 synchronous PPP", below.
2708 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2709 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2710 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2711 here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
2713 config PPP_MULTILINK
2714 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2715 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2717 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2718 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2719 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2721 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2722 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2727 bool "PPP filtering"
2730 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2731 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2732 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2733 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2734 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2735 active-filter options to pppd.
2740 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2744 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2745 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2746 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2749 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2754 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2757 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2758 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2759 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2761 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2764 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2769 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2770 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2771 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2772 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2773 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2774 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2776 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2779 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2782 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2783 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2784 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2785 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2786 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2787 it is safe to say Y here.
2789 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2790 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2793 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2794 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2795 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2798 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2799 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2805 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2806 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2808 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2809 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2812 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2813 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2815 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2817 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2818 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2819 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2820 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2821 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2824 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2825 depends on ATM && PPP
2827 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2828 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2829 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2830 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2833 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2834 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && INET
2836 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
2837 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
2838 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
2840 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
2841 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
2842 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
2843 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).
2846 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2848 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2849 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2850 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2851 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2852 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2853 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2854 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2857 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2858 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2859 around (available from
2860 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2861 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2862 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2863 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2864 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2865 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2866 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2867 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2868 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2869 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2870 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2872 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2873 will be called slip.
2875 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2876 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2880 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2881 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2882 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2883 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2884 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2885 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2886 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2887 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2888 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2889 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2894 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
2898 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2901 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2902 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2905 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2906 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2909 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2910 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2911 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2912 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2913 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2914 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2915 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2918 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2919 depends on SCSI && PCI
2921 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2922 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2923 intended to replace SCSI.
2925 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2926 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2927 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2928 "SCSI generic support".
2931 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2932 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2934 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2935 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
2937 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
2938 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2939 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS && EXPERIMENTAL
2942 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
2943 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
2944 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
2945 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
2951 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
2955 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
2959 tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2960 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO
2962 This is the virtual network driver for virtio. It can be used with
2963 lguest or QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M.
