CONFIG_ARCNET
If you have a network card of this type, say Y and check out the
(arguably) beautiful poetry in
<file:Documentation/networking/arcnet.txt>.
You need both this driver, and the driver for the particular ARCnet
chipset of your card. If you don't know, then it's probably a
COM90xx type card, so say Y (or M) to "ARCnet COM90xx chipset
support" below.
You might also want to have a look at the Ethernet-HOWTO, available
from <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>(even though ARCnet
is not really Ethernet).
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 arcnet.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_ARCNET_1051
This allows you to use RFC1051 with your ARCnet card via the virtual
arc0s device. You only need arc0s if you want to talk to ARCnet
software complying with the "old" standard, specifically, the DOS
arcnet.com packet driver, Amigas running AmiTCP, and some variants
of NetBSD. You do not need to say Y here to communicate with
industry-standard RFC1201 implementations, like the arcether.com
packet driver or most DOS/Windows ODI drivers. RFC1201 is included
automatically as the arc0 device. Please read the ARCnet
documentation in <file:Documentation/networking/arcnet.txt> for more
information about using arc0e and arc0s.
CONFIG_ARCNET_1201
This allows you to use RFC1201 with your ARCnet card via the virtual
arc0 device. You need to say Y here to communicate with
industry-standard RFC1201 implementations, like the arcether.com
packet driver or most DOS/Windows ODI drivers. Please read the
ARCnet documentation in <file:Documentation/networking/arcnet.txt>
for more information about using arc0.
CONFIG_ARCNET_RAW
ARCnet "raw mode" packet encapsulation, no soft headers. Unlikely
to work unless talking to a copy of the same Linux arcnet driver,
but perhaps marginally faster in that case.
CONFIG_ARCNET_COM90xx
This is the chipset driver for the standard COM90xx cards. If you
have always used the old ARCnet driver without knowing what type of
card you had, this is probably the one for 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 com90xx.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_ARCNET_COM90xxIO
This is the chipset driver for the COM90xx cards, using them in
IO-mapped mode instead of memory-mapped mode. This is slower than
the normal driver. Only use it if your card doesn't support shared
memory.
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 com90io.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_ARCNET_RIM_I
This is yet another chipset driver for the COM90xx cards, but this
time only using memory-mapped mode, and no IO ports at all. This
driver is completely untested, so if you have one of these cards,
please mail dwmw2@infradead.org, especially if it works!
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 arc-rimi.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_ARCNET_COM20020
This is the driver for the new COM20020 chipset. It supports such
things as promiscuous mode, so packet sniffing is possible, and
extra diagnostic 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 com20020.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>.
