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

32 tristate "Intermediate Functional Block support"
33 depends on NET_CLS_ACT
35 This is an intermediate driver that allows sharing of
37 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
38 will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
39 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
40 Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
42 Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
45 tristate "Dummy net driver support"
47 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
48 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
49 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
50 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
51 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
52 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
53 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
54 Administrator's Guide, available from
55 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
57 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
58 will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
59 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
60 Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
64 tristate "Bonding driver support"
66 depends on IPV6 || IPV6=n
68 Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
69 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
70 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
72 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
73 performance and high availability operation.
75 Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
78 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
79 will be called bonding.
82 tristate "MAC-VLAN support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
83 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
85 This allows one to create virtual interfaces that map packets to
86 or from specific MAC addresses to a particular interface.
88 Macvlan devices can be added using the "ip" command from the
89 iproute2 package starting with the iproute2-2.6.23 release:
91 "ip link add link <real dev> [ address MAC ] [ NAME ] type macvlan"
93 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
94 will be called macvlan.
97 tristate "MAC-VLAN based tap driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
100 This adds a specialized tap character device driver that is based
101 on the MAC-VLAN network interface, called macvtap. A macvtap device
102 can be added in the same way as a macvlan device, using 'type
103 macvlan', and then be accessed through the tap user space interface.
105 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
106 will be called macvtap.
109 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
111 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
112 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
113 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
114 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
115 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
116 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
117 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
119 Say Y if you want this and read
120 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
121 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
122 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
124 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
125 will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
128 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
131 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
132 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
133 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
134 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
135 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
137 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
138 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
139 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
140 all routes corresponding to it.
142 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
145 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
148 If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.

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

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

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

2962 Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
2963 of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)
2964 adapters. TURBOchannel does not have the concept of I/O ports,
2965 so MMIO is always used for these (DEFTA) adapters.

2995 Questions concerning this driver can be addressed to:
2996 <linux@syskonnect.de>
2998 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2999 will be called skfp. This is recommended.
3002 bool "HIPPI driver support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3003 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && INET && PCI
3005 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
3006 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
3007 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
3008 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
3009 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
3010 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
3011 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
3012 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
3015 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3016 depends on HIPPI && PCI
3018 Say Y here if this is your PCI HIPPI network card.
3020 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
3021 will be called rrunner. If unsure, say N.
3023 config ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS
3024 bool "Use large TX/RX rings (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3025 depends on ROADRUNNER
3027 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
3028 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
3029 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
3030 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
3034 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
3037 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
3038 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
3039 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
3040 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
3041 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
3042 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
3043 enabled for this to work.
3045 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
3046 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
3047 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
3048 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
3049 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
3050 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
3051 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
3052 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
3053 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
3054 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
3055 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
3057 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
3058 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
3059 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
3060 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
3061 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
3062 your kernel by about 8 KB.
3064 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
3065 will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
3069 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
3072 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
3073 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
3074 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
3075 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
3076 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
3078 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
3079 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
3080 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
3081 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
3082 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
3084 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
3085 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
3086 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
3087 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
3088 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
3089 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
3090 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
3091 synchronous PPP", below.
3093 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
3094 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
3095 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
3096 here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
3098 config PPP_MULTILINK
3099 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3100 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
3102 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
3103 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
3104 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
3106 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
3107 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
3112 bool "PPP filtering"
3115 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
3116 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
3117 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
3118 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
3119 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
3120 active-filter options to pppd.
3125 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
3129 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
3130 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
3131 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
3134 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
3139 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
3142 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
3143 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
3144 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
3146 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
3149 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
3154 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
3155 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
3156 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
3157 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
3158 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
3159 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
3161 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
3164 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
3167 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
3168 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
3169 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
3170 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
3171 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
3172 it is safe to say Y here.
3174 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
3175 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
3178 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
3179 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
3180 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
3183 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3184 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
3190 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
3191 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
3193 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
3194 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
3197 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3198 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
3200 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
3202 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
3203 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
3204 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
3205 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
3206 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
3209 tristate "PPP over ATM"
3210 depends on ATM && PPP
3212 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
3213 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
3214 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
3215 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
3218 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3219 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && L2TP && PPP
3221 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
3222 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
3223 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
3226 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
3228 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
3229 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
3230 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
3231 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
3232 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
3233 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
3234 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
3237 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
3238 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
3239 around (available from
3240 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3241 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
3242 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
3243 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3244 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
3245 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
3246 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
3247 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
3248 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
3249 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
3250 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
3252 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
3253 will be called slip.
3255 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
3256 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
3260 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
3261 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
3262 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
3263 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3264 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
3265 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3266 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
3267 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3268 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
3269 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
3274 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
3278 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
3281 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
3282 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
3285 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
3286 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
3289 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3290 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3291 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3292 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3293 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3294 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3295 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
3298 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
3299 depends on SCSI && PCI
3301 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
3302 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
3303 intended to replace SCSI.
3305 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
3306 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
3307 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
3308 "SCSI generic support".
3311 tristate "Network console logging support"
3313 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
3314 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3316 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
3317 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets"
3318 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS
3321 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
3322 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
3323 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
3324 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3330 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
3334 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
3338 tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3339 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO
3341 This is the virtual network driver for virtio. It can be used with
3342 lguest or QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M.
3345 tristate "VMware VMXNET3 ethernet driver"
3346 depends on PCI && INET
3348 This driver supports VMware's vmxnet3 virtual ethernet NIC.
3349 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
3350 module will be called vmxnet3.
