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.

2988 bool "HIPPI driver support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2989 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && INET && PCI
2991 HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and
2992 1600Mbit/sec dual-simplex switched or point-to-point network. HIPPI
2993 can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
2994 single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
2995 connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network
2996 and have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to use
2997 under Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driver
2998 for your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.
3001 tristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3002 depends on HIPPI && PCI
3004 Say Y here if this is your PCI HIPPI network card.
3006 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
3007 will be called rrunner. If unsure, say N.
3009 config ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGS
3010 bool "Use large TX/RX rings (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3011 depends on ROADRUNNER
3013 If you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MB
3014 of additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both for
3015 transmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any other
3016 kernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you have
3020 tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
3023 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
3024 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
3025 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
3026 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
3027 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
3028 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
3029 enabled for this to work.
3031 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
3032 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
3033 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
3034 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
3035 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
3036 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
3037 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
3038 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
3039 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
3040 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
3041 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
3043 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
3044 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
3045 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
3046 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
3047 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
3048 your kernel by about 8 KB.
3050 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
3051 will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
3055 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
3058 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
3059 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
3060 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
3061 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
3062 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
3064 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
3065 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
3066 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
3067 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
3068 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
3070 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
3071 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
3072 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
3073 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
3074 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
3075 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
3076 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
3077 synchronous PPP", below.
3079 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
3080 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
3081 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
3082 here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
3084 config PPP_MULTILINK
3085 bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3086 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
3088 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
3089 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
3090 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
3092 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
3093 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
3098 bool "PPP filtering"
3101 Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
3102 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
3103 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
3104 a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
3105 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
3106 active-filter options to pppd.
3111 tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
3115 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
3116 asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
3117 a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
3120 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
3125 tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
3128 Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
3129 (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
3130 are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
3132 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
3135 tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
3140 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
3141 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
3142 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
3143 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
3144 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
3145 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
3147 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
3150 tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
3153 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
3154 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
3155 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
3156 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
3157 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
3158 it is safe to say Y here.
3160 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
3161 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
3164 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
3165 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
3166 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
3169 tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3170 depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
3176 Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the
3177 Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.
3179 See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on
3180 configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
3183 tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3184 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
3186 Support for PPP over Ethernet.
3188 This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
3189 repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
3190 RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
3191 which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
3192 the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
3195 tristate "PPP over ATM"
3196 depends on ATM && PPP
3198 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
3199 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
3200 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
3201 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
3204 tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3205 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && L2TP && PPP
3207 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
3208 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
3209 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.
3212 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
3214 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
3215 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
3216 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
3217 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
3218 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
3219 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
3220 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
3223 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
3224 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
3225 around (available from
3226 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3227 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
3228 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
3229 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3230 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
3231 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
3232 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
3233 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
3234 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
3235 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
3236 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
3238 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
3239 will be called slip.
3241 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
3242 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
3246 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
3247 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
3248 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
3249 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3250 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
3251 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3252 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
3253 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3254 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
3255 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
3260 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
3264 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
3267 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
3268 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
3271 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
3272 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
3275 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3276 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3277 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3278 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3279 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3280 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3281 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
3284 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
3285 depends on SCSI && PCI
3287 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
3288 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
3289 intended to replace SCSI.
3291 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
3292 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
3293 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
3294 "SCSI generic support".
3297 tristate "Network console logging support"
3299 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
3300 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3302 config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
3303 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets"
3304 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS
3307 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
3308 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
3309 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
3310 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
3316 bool "Netpoll traffic trapping"
3320 config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
3324 tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
3325 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO
3327 This is the virtual network driver for virtio. It can be used with
3328 lguest or QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M.
3331 tristate "VMware VMXNET3 ethernet driver"
3332 depends on PCI && INET
3334 This driver supports VMware's vmxnet3 virtual ethernet NIC.
3335 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
3336 module will be called vmxnet3.
