10 ---help---
11 Wide Area Networks (WANs), such as X.25, Frame Relay and leased
12 lines, are used to interconnect Local Area Networks (LANs) over vast
13 distances with data transfer rates significantly higher than those
14 achievable with commonly used asynchronous modem connections.
15
16 Usually, a quite expensive external device called a `WAN router' is
17 needed to connect to a WAN. As an alternative, a relatively
18 inexpensive WAN interface card can allow your Linux box to directly
19 connect to a WAN.
20
21 If you have one of those cards and wish to use it under Linux,
22 say Y here and also to the WAN driver for your card.
23
24 If unsure, say N.

31 Driver for Comtrol Hostess SV-11 network card which
32 operates on low speed synchronous serial links at up to

42 ---help---
43 Driver for COSA and SRP synchronous serial boards.
44
45 These boards allow to connect synchronous serial devices (for example
46 base-band modems, or any other device with the X.21, V.24, V.35 or
47 V.36 interface) to your Linux box. The cards can work as the
48 character device, synchronous PPP network device, or the Cisco HDLC
49 network device.
50
51 You will need user-space utilities COSA or SRP boards for downloading
52 the firmware to the cards and to set them up. Look at the
53 <http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kas/cosa/> for more information. You can also
54 read the comment at the top of the <file:drivers/net/wan/cosa.c> for
55 details about the cards and the driver itself.
56
57 The driver will be compiled as a module: the
58 module will be called cosa.

65 DSCC4 chipset.
66
67 This is supposed to work with the four port card. Take a look at
68 <http://www.cogenit.fr/dscc4/> for further information about the

77 help
78 Due to Etinc's design choice for its PCISYNC cards, some operations
79 are only allowed on specific ports of the DSCC4. This option is the
80 only way for the driver to know that it shouldn't return a success
81 code for these operations.
82
83 Please say Y if your card is an Etinc's PCISYNC.
84
85config DSCC4_PCI_RST
86 bool "Hard reset support"
87 depends on DSCC4
88 help
89 Various DSCC4 bugs forbid any reliable software reset of the ASIC.
90 As a replacement, some vendors provide a way to assert the PCI #RST
91 pin of DSCC4 through the GPIO port of the card. If you choose Y,
92 the driver will make use of this feature before module removal
93 (i.e. rmmod). The feature is known to be available on Commtech's
94 cards. Contact your manufacturer for details.
95
96 Say Y if your card supports this feature.
