7 tristate "ARCnet support"
9 If you have a network card of this type, say Y and check out the
10 (arguably) beautiful poetry in
11 <file:Documentation/networking/arcnet.txt>.
13 You need both this driver, and the driver for the particular ARCnet
14 chipset of your card. If you don't know, then it's probably a
15 COM90xx type card, so say Y (or M) to "ARCnet COM90xx chipset
18 You might also want to have a look at the Ethernet-HOWTO, available
19 from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>(even though ARCnet
20 is not really Ethernet).
22 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
23 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will
29 tristate "Enable standard ARCNet packet format (RFC 1201)"
31 This allows you to use RFC1201 with your ARCnet card via the virtual
32 arc0 device. You need to say Y here to communicate with
33 industry-standard RFC1201 implementations, like the arcether.com
34 packet driver or most DOS/Windows ODI drivers. Please read the
35 ARCnet documentation in <file:Documentation/networking/arcnet.txt>
36 for more information about using arc0.
39 tristate "Enable old ARCNet packet format (RFC 1051)"
41 This allows you to use RFC1051 with your ARCnet card via the virtual
42 arc0s device. You only need arc0s if you want to talk to ARCnet
43 software complying with the "old" standard, specifically, the DOS
44 arcnet.com packet driver, Amigas running AmiTCP, and some variants
45 of NetBSD. You do not need to say Y here to communicate with
46 industry-standard RFC1201 implementations, like the arcether.com
47 packet driver or most DOS/Windows ODI drivers. RFC1201 is included
48 automatically as the arc0 device. Please read the ARCnet
49 documentation in <file:Documentation/networking/arcnet.txt> for more
50 information about using arc0e and arc0s.
53 tristate "Enable raw mode packet interface"
55 ARCnet "raw mode" packet encapsulation, no soft headers. Unlikely
56 to work unless talking to a copy of the same Linux arcnet driver,
57 but perhaps marginally faster in that case.
60 tristate "Enable CAP mode packet interface"
62 ARCnet "cap mode" packet encapsulation. Used to get the hardware
63 acknowledge back to userspace. After the initial protocol byte every
64 packet is stuffed with an extra 4 byte "cookie" which doesn't
65 actually appear on the network. After transmit the driver will send
66 back a packet with protocol byte 0 containing the status of the
68 0=no hardware acknowledge
70 2=transmission accepted by the receiver hardware
72 Received packets are also stuffed with the extra 4 bytes but it will
75 Cap only listens to protocol 1-8.
78 tristate "ARCnet COM90xx (normal) chipset driver"
80 This is the chipset driver for the standard COM90xx cards. If you
81 have always used the old ARCnet driver without knowing what type of
82 card you had, this is probably the one for you.
84 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
85 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will
88 config ARCNET_COM90xxIO
89 tristate "ARCnet COM90xx (IO mapped) chipset driver"
91 This is the chipset driver for the COM90xx cards, using them in
92 IO-mapped mode instead of memory-mapped mode. This is slower than
93 the normal driver. Only use it if your card doesn't support shared
96 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
97 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will
101 tristate "ARCnet COM90xx (RIM I) chipset driver"
103 This is yet another chipset driver for the COM90xx cards, but this
104 time only using memory-mapped mode, and no IO ports at all. This
105 driver is completely untested, so if you have one of these cards,
106 please mail <dwmw2@infradead.org>, especially if it works!
108 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
109 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will
112 config ARCNET_COM20020
113 tristate "ARCnet COM20020 chipset driver"
115 This is the driver for the new COM20020 chipset. It supports such
116 things as promiscuous mode, so packet sniffing is possible, and
117 extra diagnostic information.
119 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
120 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will
123 config ARCNET_COM20020_ISA
124 tristate "Support for COM20020 on ISA"
