14 If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y
15 and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
16 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
18 Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
19 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
20 the questions about Intel cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for
21 your specific card in the following questions.
26 tristate "Intel(R) PRO/100+ support"
31 This driver supports Intel(R) PRO/100 family of adapters.
32 To verify that your adapter is supported, find the board ID number
33 on the adapter. Look for a label that has a barcode and a number
34 in the format 123456-001 (six digits hyphen three digits).
36 Use the above information and the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
38 <http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>
40 to identify the adapter.
42 For the latest Intel PRO/100 network driver for Linux, see:

79 ethernet family of adapters. For PCI or PCI-X e1000 adapters,
80 use the regular e1000 driver For more information on how to
81 identify your adapter, go to the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:

91 will be called e1000e.
94 tristate "Intel(R) 82575/82576 PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet support"
97 This driver supports Intel(R) 82575/82576 gigabit ethernet family of
98 adapters. For more information on how to identify your adapter, go
99 to the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:

115 bool "Direct Cache Access (DCA) Support"
117 depends on IGB && DCA && !(IGB=y && DCA=m)
119 Say Y here if you want to use Direct Cache Access (DCA) in the
120 driver. DCA is a method for warming the CPU cache before data
121 is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses.
124 bool "PTP Hardware Clock (PHC)"
126 depends on IGB && PTP_1588_CLOCK
128 Say Y here if you want to use PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) in the
129 driver. Only the basic clock operations have been implemented.
131 Every timestamp and clock read operations must consult the
132 overflow counter to form a correct time value.
135 tristate "Intel(R) 82576 Virtual Function Ethernet support"
138 This driver supports Intel(R) 82576 virtual functions. For more
139 information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter &

152 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
153 will be called igbvf.
156 tristate "Intel(R) PRO/10GbE support"
159 This driver supports Intel(R) PRO/10GbE family of adapters for
160 PCI-X type cards. For PCI-E type cards, use the "ixgbe" driver
161 instead. For more information on how to identify your adapter, go
162 to the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
164 <http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>

210 driver. DCA is a method for warming the CPU cache before data
211 is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses.
214 bool "Data Center Bridging (DCB) Support"
216 depends on IXGBE && DCB
218 Say Y here if you want to use Data Center Bridging (DCB) in the
224 bool "PTP Clock Support"
226 depends on IXGBE && PTP_1588_CLOCK
228 Say Y here if you want support for 1588 Timestamping with a
229 PHC device, using the PTP 1588 Clock support. This is
230 required to enable timestamping support for the device.
235 tristate "Intel(R) 82599 Virtual Function Ethernet support"
238 This driver supports Intel(R) 82599 virtual functions. For more
239 information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter &
