| 2 | tristate "Ethernet team driver support (EXPERIMENTAL)" | |
| 3 | depends on EXPERIMENTAL | |
| 4 | ---help--- | |
| 5 | This allows one to create virtual interfaces that teams together | |
| 6 | multiple ethernet devices. | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | Team devices can be added using the "ip" command from the | |
| 9 | iproute2 package: | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | "ip link add link [ address MAC ] [ NAME ] type team" | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module | |
| 14 | will be called team. | |

| 45 | Only one port is active at a time and the rest of ports are used | |
