8 bool "Network device support"
10 You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
11 any other computer at all.
13 You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
14 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
15 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
16 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
17 AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.

32 This is an intermediate driver that allows sharing of
34 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
35 will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
36 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
37 Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
39 Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
42 tristate "Dummy net driver support"
44 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
45 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
46 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
47 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
48 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
49 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
50 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
51 Administrator's Guide, available from
52 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
54 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
55 will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
56 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
57 Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
61 tristate "Bonding driver support"
63 depends on IPV6 || IPV6=n
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 "MAC-VLAN based tap driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
97 This adds a specialized tap character device driver that is based
98 on the MAC-VLAN network interface, called macvtap. A macvtap device
99 can be added in the same way as a macvlan device, using 'type
100 macvlan', and then be accessed through the tap user space interface.
102 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
103 will be called macvtap.
106 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
108 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
109 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
110 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
111 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
112 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
113 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
114 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
116 Say Y if you want this and read
117 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
118 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
119 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
121 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
122 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
125 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
128 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
129 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
130 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
131 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
132 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
134 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
135 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
136 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
137 all routes corresponding to it.
139 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
142 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module

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

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

267 Some Apple machines (notably the Apple Network Server) which use the
268 MACE ethernet chip have an Apple AUI port (small 15-pin connector),
269 instead of an 8-pin RJ45 connector for twisted-pair ethernet. Say
270 Y here if you have such a machine. If unsure, say N.
271 The driver will default to AAUI on ANS anyway, and if you use it as
272 a module, you can provide the port_aaui=0|1 to force the driver.

2992 Questions concerning this driver can be addressed to:
2993 <linux@syskonnect.de>
2995 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2996 will be called skfp. This is recommended.
2999 bool "HIPPI driver support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3000 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && INET && PCI
3002 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
3003 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
3004 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
3005 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
3006 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
3007 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
3008 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
3009 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
3012 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3013 depends on HIPPI && PCI
3015 Say Y here if this is your PCI HIPPI network card.
3017 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
3018 will be called rrunner. If unsure, say N.
3020 config ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS
3021 bool "Use large TX/RX rings (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3022 depends on ROADRUNNER
3024 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
3025 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
3026 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
3027 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
3031 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
3034 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
3035 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
3036 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
3037 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
3038 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
3039 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
3040 enabled for this to work.
3042 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
3043 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
3044 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
3045 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
3046 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
3047 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
3048 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
3049 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
3050 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
3051 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
3052 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
3054 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
3055 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
3056 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
3057 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
3058 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
3059 your kernel by about 8 KB.
3061 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
3062 will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
3066 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
3069 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
3070 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
3071 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
3072 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
3073 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
3075 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
3076 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
3077 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
3078 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
3079 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
3081 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
3082 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
3083 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
3084 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
3085 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
3086 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
3087 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
3088 synchronous PPP", below.
3090 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
3091 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
3092 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
3093 here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
3095 config PPP_MULTILINK
3096 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3097 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
3099 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
3100 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
3101 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
3103 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
3104 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
3109 bool "PPP filtering"
3112 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
3113 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
3114 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
3115 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
3116 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
3117 active-filter options to pppd.
3122 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
3126 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
3127 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
3128 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
3131 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
3136 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
3139 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
3140 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
3141 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
3143 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
3146 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
3151 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
3152 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
3153 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
3154 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
3155 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
3156 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
3158 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
3161 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
3164 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
3165 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
3166 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
3167 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
3168 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
3169 it is safe to say Y here.
3171 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
3172 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
3175 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
3176 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
3177 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
3180 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3181 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
3187 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
3188 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
3190 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
3191 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
3194 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3195 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
3197 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
3199 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
3200 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
3201 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
3202 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
3203 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
3206 tristate "PPP over ATM"
3207 depends on ATM && PPP
3209 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
3210 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
3211 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
3212 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
3215 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3216 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && L2TP && PPP
3218 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
3219 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
3220 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
3223 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
3225 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
3226 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
3227 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
3228 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
3229 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
3230 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
3231 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
3234 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
3235 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
3236 around (available from
3237 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3238 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
3239 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
3240 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3241 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
3242 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
3243 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
3244 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
3245 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
3246 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
3247 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
3249 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
3250 will be called slip.
3252 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
3253 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
3257 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
3258 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
3259 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
3260 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3261 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
3262 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3263 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
3264 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3265 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
3266 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
3271 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
3275 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
3278 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
3279 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
3282 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
3283 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
3286 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3287 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3288 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3289 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3290 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3291 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3292 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
3295 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
3296 depends on SCSI && PCI
3298 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
3299 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
3300 intended to replace SCSI.
3302 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
3303 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
3304 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
3305 "SCSI generic support".
3308 tristate "Network console logging support"
3310 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
3311 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3313 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
3314 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets"
3315 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS
3318 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
3319 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
3320 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
3321 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3327 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
3331 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
3335 tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3336 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO
3338 This is the virtual network driver for virtio. It can be used with
3339 lguest or QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M.
3342 tristate "VMware VMXNET3 ethernet driver"
3343 depends on PCI && INET
3345 This driver supports VMware's vmxnet3 virtual ethernet NIC.
3346 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
3347 module will be called vmxnet3.
