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.

34 that do not use net_device_ops interface.
39 tristate "Intermediate Functional Block support"
40 depends on NET_CLS_ACT
42 This is an intermediate driver that allows sharing of
44 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
45 will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
46 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
47 Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
49 Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
52 tristate "Dummy net driver support"
54 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
55 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
56 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
57 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
58 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
59 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
60 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
61 Administrator's Guide, available from
62 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
64 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
65 will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
66 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
67 Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
71 tristate "Bonding driver support"
73 depends on IPV6 || IPV6=n
75 Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
76 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
77 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
79 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
80 performance and high availability operation.
82 Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
85 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
86 will be called bonding.
89 tristate "MAC-VLAN support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
90 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
92 This allows one to create virtual interfaces that map packets to
93 or from specific MAC addresses to a particular interface.
95 Macvlan devices can be added using the "ip" command from the
96 iproute2 package starting with the iproute2-2.6.23 release:
98 "ip link add link <real dev> [ address MAC ] [ NAME ] type macvlan"
100 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
101 will be called macvlan.
104 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
106 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
107 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
108 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
109 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
110 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
111 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
112 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
114 Say Y if you want this and read
115 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
116 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from

120 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
123 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
126 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
127 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
128 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
129 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
130 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
132 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
133 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
134 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
135 all routes corresponding to it.
137 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
140 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module

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

188 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
189 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
191 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
192 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
193 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
194 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
195 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
196 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
197 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
198 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
199 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
201 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
202 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
203 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
204 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
205 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.

208 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
209 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
214 tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"
216 Most ethernet controllers have MII transceiver either as an external
217 or internal device. It is safe to say Y or M here even if your

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

2756 Fiber Distributed Data Interface is a high speed local area network
2757 design; essentially a replacement for high speed Ethernet. FDDI can
2758 run over copper or fiber. If you are connected to such a network and
2759 want a driver for the FDDI card in your computer, say Y here (and
2760 then also Y to the driver for your FDDI card, below). Most people
2764 tristate "Digital DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapter support"
2765 depends on FDDI && (PCI || EISA || TC)
2767 This is support for the DIGITAL series of TURBOchannel (DEFTA),
2768 EISA (DEFEA) and PCI (DEFPA) controllers which can connect you
2769 to a local FDDI network.
2771 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2772 will be called defxx. If unsure, say N.
2776 prompt "Use MMIO instead of PIO" if PCI || EISA
2778 default n if PCI || EISA
2781 This instructs the driver to use EISA or PCI memory-mapped I/O
2782 (MMIO) as appropriate instead of programmed I/O ports (PIO).
2783 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2784 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2785 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2786 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.
2791 tristate "SysKonnect FDDI PCI support"

2826 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2827 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2828 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2829 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2830 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2831 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2832 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2833 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
2836 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2837 depends on HIPPI && PCI

2848 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
2849 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
2850 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
2851 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
2855 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
2858 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2859 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2860 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2861 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2862 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2863 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2864 enabled for this to work.
2866 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2867 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2868 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2869 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2870 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2871 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2872 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2873 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2874 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2875 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2876 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2878 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2879 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2880 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2881 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2882 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2883 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2885 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2886 will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
2890 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2893 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2894 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2895 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2896 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2897 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2899 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2900 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2901 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2902 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2903 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2905 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2906 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2907 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2908 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2909 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2910 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2911 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2912 synchronous PPP", below.
2914 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2915 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2916 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2917 here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
2919 config PPP_MULTILINK
2920 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2921 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2923 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2924 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2925 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2927 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2928 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2933 bool "PPP filtering"
2936 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2937 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2938 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2939 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2940 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2941 active-filter options to pppd.
2946 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
2950 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
2951 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
2952 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
2955 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2960 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
2963 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
2964 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
2965 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
2967 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2970 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
2975 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2976 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2977 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2978 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2979 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2980 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
2982 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
2985 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
2988 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2989 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2990 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2991 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2992 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2993 it is safe to say Y here.
2995 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2996 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2999 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
3000 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
3001 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
3004 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3005 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
3011 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
3012 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
3014 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
3015 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
3018 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3019 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
3021 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
3023 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
3024 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
3025 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
3026 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
3027 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
3030 tristate "PPP over ATM"
3031 depends on ATM && PPP
3033 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
3034 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
3035 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
3036 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
3039 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3040 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && INET
3042 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
3043 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
3044 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
3046 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
3047 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
3048 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
3049 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).
3052 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
3054 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
3055 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
3056 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
3057 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
3058 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
3059 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
3060 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
3063 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
3064 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
3065 around (available from
3066 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3067 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
3068 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
3069 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3070 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
3071 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
3072 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
3073 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
3074 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
3075 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
3076 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
3078 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
3079 will be called slip.
3081 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
3082 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
3086 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
3087 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
3088 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
3089 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3090 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
3091 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3092 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
3093 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3094 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
3095 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
3100 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
3104 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
3107 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
3108 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
3111 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
3112 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
3115 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3116 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3117 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3118 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3119 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3120 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3121 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
3124 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
3125 depends on SCSI && PCI
3127 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
3128 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
3129 intended to replace SCSI.
3131 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
3132 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
3133 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
3134 "SCSI generic support".
3137 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3138 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
3140 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
3141 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3143 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
3144 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3145 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS && EXPERIMENTAL
3148 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
3149 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
3150 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
3151 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3157 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
3161 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
3165 tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3166 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO
3168 This is the virtual network driver for virtio. It can be used with
3169 lguest or QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M.
