+CONFIG_BAGETLANCE
+ Say Y to enable kernel support for AMD Lance Ethernet cards on the
+ MIPS-32-based Baget embedded system. This chipset is better known
+ via the NE2100 cards.
+
+CONFIG_MIPS_JAZZ_SONIC
+ This is the driver for the onboard card of MIPS Magnum 4000,
+ Acer PICA, Olivetti M700-10 and a few other identical OEM systems.
+
+CONFIG_MIPS_GT96100ETH
+ Say Y here to support the Ethernet subsystem on your GT96100 card.
+
+CONFIG_DUMMY
+ This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
+ this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
+ address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
+ inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
+ If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
+ thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
+ kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
+ Administrator's Guide, available from
+ <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#guide>.
+
+ If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
+ say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module
+ will be called dummy.o. If you want to use more than one dummy
+ device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
+ Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
+ 'dummy1' etc.
+
+CONFIG_BONDING
+ Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
+ Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
+ 'Trunking' by Sun, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
+
+ If you have two Ethernet connections to some other computer, you can
+ make them behave like one double speed connection using this driver.
+ Naturally, this has to be supported at the other end as well, either
+ with a similar Bonding Linux driver, a Cisco 5500 switch or a
+ SunTrunking SunSoft driver.
+
+ This is similar to the EQL driver, but it merges Ethernet segments
+ instead of serial lines.
+
+ If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
+ say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module
+ will be called bonding.o.
+
+CONFIG_SLIP
+ Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
+ connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
+ other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
+ Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
+ Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
+ serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
+ nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
+ purpose.
+
+ Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
+ to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
+ around (available from
+ <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
+ allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
+ you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
+ NET-3-HOWTO, available from
+ <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
+ configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
+ want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
+ Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
+ some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
+ <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
+ support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
+
+ If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
+ say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt> as well as
+ <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
+ called slip.o.
+
+CONFIG_SLIP_COMPRESSED
+ This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
+ TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
+ on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
+ answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
+ you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
+ <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
+ allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
+ definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
+ <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
+ CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
+
+CONFIG_SLIP_SMART
+ Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
+ RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
+ analogue lines.
+
+CONFIG_SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
+ Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
+ networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
+ bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
+ "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
+ the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
+ end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
+ over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
+
+CONFIG_PPP
+ PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
+ the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
+ serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
+ otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
+ days support PPP rather than SLIP.
+
+ To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
+ in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
+ <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
+ the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
+ The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
+
+ There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
+ asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
+ synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
+ example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
+ asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
+ the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
+ synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
+ synchronous PPP", below.
+
+ This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
+ you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
+ compile it as a module. The module will be called ppp_generic.o.
+ If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read
+ <file:Documentation/modules.txt> as well as
+ <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
+
+CONFIG_PPP_MULTILINK
+ PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
+ to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
+ connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
+
+ This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
+ version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+CONFIG_PPP_FILTER
+ Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
+ PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
+ activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
+ a demand-dialled link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
+ You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
+ active-filter options to pppd.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC
+ Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
+ asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
+ a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
+ need this option.
+
+ This code is also available as a module (code which can be inserted
+ into and removed from the running kernel). If you want to compile
+ it as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
+
+CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY
+ Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous
+ (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices
+ are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.
+
+ This code is also available as a module (code which can be inserted
+ into and removed from the running kernel). If you want to compile
+ it as a module, say M here and read
+ <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE
+ Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
+ Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
+ each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
+ other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
+ Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
+ they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
+
+ This code is also available as a module (code which can be inserted
+ into and removed from the running kernel). If you want to compile
+ it as a module, say M here and read
+ <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP
+ Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
+ the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
+ sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
+ (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
+ method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
+ it is safe to say Y here.
+
+ The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
+ above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
+ and is patent-free.
+
+ Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
+ module; it is called bsd_comp.o and will show up in the directory
+ modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
+
+CONFIG_PPPOE
+ Support for PPP over Ethernet.
+
+ This driver requires a specially patched pppd daemon. The patch to
+ pppd, along with binaries of a patched pppd package can be found at:
+ <http://www.shoshin.uwaterloo.ca/~mostrows/>.
+
+CONFIG_NET_RADIO
+ Support for wireless LANs and everything having to do with radio,
+ but not with amateur radio or FM broadcasting.
+
+ Saying Y here also enables the Wireless Extensions (creates
+ /proc/net/wireless and enables ifconfig access). The Wireless
+ Extension is a generic API allowing a driver to expose to the user
+ space configuration and statistics specific to common Wireless LANs.
+ The beauty of it is that a single set of tool can support all the
+ variations of Wireless LANs, regardless of their type (as long as
+ the driver supports Wireless Extension). Another advantage is that
+ these parameters may be changed on the fly without restarting the
+ driver (or Linux). If you wish to use Wireless Extensions with
+ wireless PCMCIA (PC-) cards, you need to say Y here; you can fetch
+ the tools from
+ <http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Tools.html>.
+
+ Some user-level drivers for scarab devices which don't require
+ special kernel support are available from
+ <ftp://shadow.cabi.net/pub/Linux/>.
+
+CONFIG_STRIP
+ Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio
+ IP. STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project
+ (on the WWW at <http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/>) to send Internet
+ traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are small, battery
+ powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and
+ weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called
+ "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads
+ many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a
+ phone line and use it as a modem.)
+
+ You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although
+ it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you
+ think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm
+ in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit
+ bigger.
+
+ You can also compile this as a module ( = code which can be inserted
+ in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), say M
+ here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module will be
+ called strip.o.
+
+CONFIG_ARLAN
+ Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters. These use the
+ www.Telxon.com chip, which is also used on several similar cards.
+ This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at
+ <http://www.ylenurme.ee/~elmer/655/> for the latest information.
+
+ The driver is built as two modules, arlan and arlan-proc. The latter
+ is the /proc interface and is not needed most of time.
+
+ On some computers the card ends up in non-valid state after some
+ time. Use a ping-reset script to clear it.
+
+CONFIG_AIRONET4500
+ www.aironet.com (recently bought by Cisco) makes these 802.11 DS
+ adapters. Driver by Elmer Joandi (elmer@ylenurme.ee).
+
+ Say Y here if you have such an adapter, and then say Y below to
+ the option that applies to your particular type of card (PCI, ISA,
+ or PCMCIA).
+
+ This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called aironet4500_core.o. If you want to
+ compile it as a module, say M here and read
+ <file:Documentation/modules.txt> as well as
+ <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
+
+ quick config parameters:
+ SSID=tsunami - "The Password"
+ adhoc=1 there are no Access Points around
+ master=1 Adhoc master (the one who creates network
+ sync)
+ slave=1 Adhoc slave (btw, it is still forming own net
+ sometimes, and has problems with firmware...
+ change IbssJoinNetTimeout from /proc...)
+ channel=1..? meaningful in adhoc mode
+
+ If you have problems with screwing up card, both_bap_lock=1 is a
+ conservative value (performance hit 15%).
+
+ All other parameters can be set via the proc interface.
+
+CONFIG_AIRONET4500_NONCS
+ If you have an ISA, PCI or PCMCIA Aironet 4500/4800 wireless LAN
+ card, say Y here, and then also to the options below that apply
+ to you.
+
+ This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called aironet4500_card.o. If you want to
+ compile it as a module, say M here and read
+ <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+CONFIG_AIRONET4500_PNP
+ If you have an ISA Aironet 4500/4800 card which you want to use in
+ PnP (Plug and Play) mode, say Y here. This is the recommended mode
+ for ISA cards. Remember however to enable the PnP jumper on the
+ board if you say Y here.
+
+CONFIG_AIRONET4500_PCI
+ If you have an PCI Aironet 4500/4800 card, say Y here.
+
+CONFIG_AIRONET4500_ISA
+ If you have an ISA Aironet 4500/4800 card which you want to run in
+ non-PnP mode, say Y here. This is not recommended and does not work
+ correctly at this point. Say N.
+
+CONFIG_AIRONET4500_I365
+ If you have a PCMCIA Aironet 4500/4800 card which you want to use
+ without the standard PCMCIA cardservices provided by the pcmcia-cs
+ package, say Y here. This is not recommended, so say N.
+
+CONFIG_AIRONET4500_PROC
+ If you say Y here (and to the "/proc file system" below), you will
+ be able to configure your Aironet card via the
+ /proc/sys/aironet4500 interface.
+
+ Additional info: look in <file:drivers/net/aironet4500_rid.c>.
+
+ This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called aironet4500_proc.o. If you want to
+ compile it as a module, say M here and read
+ <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+ NOTE: the proc interface uses a lot of memory, so it is recommended
+ to compile it as a module and remove the module after
+ configuration.
+
+CONFIG_PLIP
+ PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
+ reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
+ local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
+ install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
+ CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
+ first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
+ enabled for this to work.
+
+ The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
+ ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
+ with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
+ bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
+ bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
+ time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
+ <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
+ 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
+ and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
+ driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
+ and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
+
+ If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
+ as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
+ <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
+ protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
+ with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
+ your kernel by about 8 KB.
+
+ If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
+ say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt> as well as
+ <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
+ called plip.o. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
+ later.
+
+CONFIG_EQUALIZER
+ If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
+ usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
+ SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
+ lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
+ one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
+ to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
+ Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
+
+ Say Y if you want this and read
+ <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
+ section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
+ <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>.
+
+ This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called eql.o. If you want to compile it as a
+ module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. If
+ unsure, say N.
+
+CONFIG_TUN
+ TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
+ programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
+ device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
+ receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
+ via physical media writes them to the user space program.
+
+ When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
+ corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
+ devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
+ all routes corresponding to it.
+
+ Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
+ information.
+
+ This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called tun.o. If you want to compile it as a
+ module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+ If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.
+
+CONFIG_ETHERTAP
+ If you say Y here (and have said Y to "Kernel/User network link
+ driver", above) and create a character special file /dev/tap0 with
+ major number 36 and minor number 16 using mknod ("man mknod"), you
+ will be able to have a user space program read and write raw
+ Ethernet frames from/to that special file. tap0 can be configured
+ with ifconfig and route like any other Ethernet device but it is not
+ connected to any physical LAN; everything written by the user to
+ /dev/tap0 is treated by the kernel as if it had come in from a LAN
+ to the device tap0; everything the kernel wants to send out over the
+ device tap0 can instead be read by the user from /dev/tap0: the user
+ mode program replaces the LAN that would be attached to an ordinary
+ Ethernet device. Please read the file
+ <file:Documentation/networking/ethertap.txt> for more information.
+
+ This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called ethertap.o. If you want to compile it as a
+ module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+ If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.
+
+CONFIG_NET_FC
+ Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
+ large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
+ intended to replace SCSI.
+
+ If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
+ adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
+ adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
+ "SCSI generic support".
+
+CONFIG_IPHASE5526
+ Say Y here if you have a Fibre Channel adaptor of this kind.
+
+ The driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called iph5526.o. For general information about
+ modules read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+CONFIG_RCPCI
+ This is a driver for hardware which provides a Virtual Private
+ Network (VPN). Say Y if you have it.
+
+ This code is also available as a module called rcpci.o ( = code
+ which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel
+ whenever you want). If you want to compile it as a module, say M
+ here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET
+ Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
+ type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
+
+ Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
+ coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
+ pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
+ hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
+ 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
+ 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
+ cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
+ [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
+ Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
+
+ If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
+ an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
+ say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
+ <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
+ to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
+
+ Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
+ kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
+ the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.
+
+CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_SMC
+ If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y
+ and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
+ <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>.
+
+ Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
+ kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
+ the questions about Western Digital cards. If you say Y, you will be
+ asked for your specific card in the following questions.
+
+CONFIG_WD80x3
+ If you have a network (Ethernet) card of this type, say Y and read
+ the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
+ <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>.
+
+ This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called wd.o. If you want to compile it as a
+ module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt> as well
+ as <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
+
+CONFIG_ULTRAMCA
+ If you have a network (Ethernet) card of this type and are running
+ an MCA based system (PS/2), say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO,
+ available from <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>.
+
+ This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called smc-mca.o. If you want to compile it as a
+ module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt> as well
+ as <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
+
+CONFIG_ULTRA
+ If you have a network (Ethernet) card of this type, say Y and read
+ the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
+ <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>.
+
+ Important: There have been many reports that, with some motherboards
+ mixing an SMC Ultra and an Adaptec AHA154x SCSI card (or compatible,
+ such as some BusLogic models) causes corruption problems with many
+ operating systems. The Linux smc-ultra driver has a work-around for
+ this but keep it in mind if you have such a SCSI card and have
+ problems.
+
+ This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called smc-ultra.o. If you want to compile it as
+ a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt> as
