3 # Network device configuration
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.

1548 bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
1552 This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
1553 of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
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,

2221 This option adds the support for the wireless feature of PS3.
2222 If you have the wireless-less model of PS3 or have no plan to
2223 use wireless feature, disabling this option saves memory. As
2224 the driver automatically distinguishes the models, you can
2225 safely enable this option even if you have a wireless-less model.

2606 Fiber Distributed Data Interface is a high speed local area network
2607 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2608 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and
2609 want a driver for the FDDI card in your computer, say Y here (and
2610 then also Y to the driver for your FDDI card, below). Most people
2614 tristate "Digital DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapter support"
2615 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2617 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2618 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2619 to a local FDDI network.
2621 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module

2626 prompt "Use MMIO instead of PIO" if PCI || EISA
2628 default n if PCI || EISA
2631 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2632 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2633 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2634 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2635 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2636 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.
2641 tristate "SysKonnect FDDI PCI support"
2642 depends on FDDI && PCI

2676 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2677 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2678 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2679 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2680 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2681 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2682 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2683 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2686 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2687 depends on HIPPI && PCI

2700 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2701 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2705 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2708 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2709 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2710 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2711 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2712 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2713 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2714 enabled for this to work.
2716 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2717 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2718 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2719 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2720 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2721 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2722 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2723 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2724 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2725 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2726 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2728 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2729 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2730 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2731 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2732 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2733 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2735 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2736 will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
2740 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2743 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2744 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2745 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2746 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2747 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2749 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2750 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2751 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2752 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2753 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2755 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2756 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2757 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2758 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2759 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2760 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2761 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2762 synchronous PPP", below.
2764 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2765 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2766 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2767 here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
2769 config PPP_MULTILINK
2770 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2771 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2773 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2774 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2775 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2777 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2778 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2783 bool "PPP filtering"
2786 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2787 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2788 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2789 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2790 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2791 active-filter options to pppd.
2796 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2800 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2801 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2802 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2805 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2810 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2813 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2814 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2815 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2817 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2820 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2825 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2826 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2827 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2828 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2829 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2830 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2832 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2835 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2838 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2839 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2840 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2841 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2842 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2843 it is safe to say Y here.
2845 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2846 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2849 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2850 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2851 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
2854 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2855 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2861 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
2862 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
2864 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
2865 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
2868 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2869 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
2871 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
2873 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
2874 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
2875 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
2876 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
2877 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
2880 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2881 depends on ATM && PPP
2883 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2884 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2885 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2886 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2889 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2890 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && INET
2892 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
2893 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
2894 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
2896 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
2897 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
2898 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP

2902 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2904 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2905 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2906 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2907 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2908 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2909 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2910 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2913 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2914 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2915 around (available from
2916 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2917 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2918 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2919 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2920 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2921 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2922 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2923 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2924 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2925 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2926 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2928 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2929 will be called slip.
2931 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2932 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2936 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2937 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2938 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2939 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2940 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2941 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2942 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2943 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2944 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2945 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2950 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
2954 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2957 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2958 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2961 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2962 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2965 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2966 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2967 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2968 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2969 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2970 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2971 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2974 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2975 depends on SCSI && PCI
2977 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2978 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2979 intended to replace SCSI.
2981 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2982 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2983 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2984 "SCSI generic support".
2987 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2988 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2990 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2991 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
2993 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
2994 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2995 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS && EXPERIMENTAL
2998 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
2999 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
3000 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
3001 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3007 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
3011 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
3015 tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3016 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO
3018 This is the virtual network driver for virtio. It can be used with
3019 lguest or QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M.
