Ian Campbellf942dc22011-03-15 00:06:18 +0000402 This driver provides support for Xen paravirtual network
403 devices exported by a Xen network driver domain (often
404 domain 0).
405
406 The corresponding Linux backend driver is enabled by the
407 CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_BACKEND option.
408
409 If you are compiling a kernel for use as Xen guest, you
410 should say Y here. To compile this driver as a module, chose
411 M here: the module will be called xen-netfront.

415 depends on XEN_BACKEND
416 help
417 This driver allows the kernel to act as a Xen network driver
418 domain which exports paravirtual network devices to other
419 Xen domains. These devices can be accessed by any operating
420 system that implements a compatible front end.
421
422 The corresponding Linux frontend driver is enabled by the
423 CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND configuration option.
424
425 The backend driver presents a standard network device
426 endpoint for each paravirtual network device to the driver
427 domain network stack. These can then be bridged or routed
428 etc in order to provide full network connectivity.
429
430 If you are compiling a kernel to run in a Xen network driver
431 domain (often this is domain 0) you should say Y here. To
432 compile this driver as a module, chose M here: the module
433 will be called xen-netback.
