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.

2836 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2837 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2838 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2839 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.

2919 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2920 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2921 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2922 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2923 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2924 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2925 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2926 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2927 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2928 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2929 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2931 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2932 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2933 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2934 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2935 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2936 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2938 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
2939 will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
2943 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
2946 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2947 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2948 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2949 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2950 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2952 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2953 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2954 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2955 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2956 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2958 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2959 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2960 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2961 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2962 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2963 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2964 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2965 synchronous PPP", below.
2967 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2968 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2969 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2970 here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
2972 config PPP_MULTILINK
2973 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2974 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
2976 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2977 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2978 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2980 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2981 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
2986 bool "PPP filtering"
2989 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
2990 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2991 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2992 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2993 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2994 active-filter options to pppd.
2999 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
3003 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
3004 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
3005 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
3008 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
3013 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
3016 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
3017 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
3018 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
3020 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
3023 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
3028 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
3029 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
3030 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
3031 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
3032 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
3033 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
3035 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
3038 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
3041 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
3042 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
3043 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
3044 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
3045 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
3046 it is safe to say Y here.
3048 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
3049 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
3052 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
3053 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
3054 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
3057 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3058 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
3064 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
3065 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
3067 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
3068 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
3071 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3072 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
3074 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
3076 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
3077 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
3078 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
3079 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
3080 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
3083 tristate "PPP over ATM"
3084 depends on ATM && PPP
3086 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
3087 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
3088 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
3089 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
3092 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3093 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && INET
3095 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
3096 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
3097 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
3099 This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: a
3100 userland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunnel
3101 and session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP
3102 (http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).
3105 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
3107 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
3108 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
3109 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
3110 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
3111 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
3112 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
3113 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
3116 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
3117 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
3118 around (available from
3119 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3120 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
3121 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
3122 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3123 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
3124 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
3125 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
3126 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
3127 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
3128 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
3129 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
3131 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
3132 will be called slip.
3134 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
3135 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
3139 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
3140 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
3141 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
3142 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3143 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
3144 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3145 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
3146 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3147 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
3148 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
3153 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
3157 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
3160 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
3161 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
3164 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
3165 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
3168 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3169 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3170 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3171 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3172 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3173 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3174 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
3177 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
3178 depends on SCSI && PCI
3180 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
3181 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
3182 intended to replace SCSI.
3184 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
3185 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
3186 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
3187 "SCSI generic support".
3190 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3191 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
3193 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
3194 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3196 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
3197 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3198 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS && EXPERIMENTAL
3201 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
3202 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
3203 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
3204 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3210 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
3214 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
3218 tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3219 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO
3221 This is the virtual network driver for virtio. It can be used with
3222 lguest or QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M.
