| 295 | This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as |
| 296 | NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal |
| 297 | cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable |
| 298 | TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way |
| 299 | downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is |
| 300 | provided by your regular phone modem. |
| 301 | |
| 302 | At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if |
| 303 | you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read |
| 304 | <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how |
| 305 | to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing |
| 306 | a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be |
| 307 | found at: |
| 308 | |

| 310 | <http://home.adelphia.net/~siglercm/sb1000.html> |
| 311 | <http://linuxpower.cx/~cable/> |
| 312 | |
| 313 | If you don't have this card, of course say N. |

| 355 | help |
| 356 | This driver allows the kernel to act as a Xen network driver |
| 357 | domain which exports paravirtual network devices to other |
| 358 | Xen domains. These devices can be accessed by any operating |
| 359 | system that implements a compatible front end. |
| 360 | |
| 361 | The corresponding Linux frontend driver is enabled by the |
| 362 | CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND configuration option. |
| 363 | |
| 364 | The backend driver presents a standard network device |
| 365 | endpoint for each paravirtual network device to the driver |
| 366 | domain network stack. These can then be bridged or routed |
| 367 | etc in order to provide full network connectivity. |
| 368 | |
| 369 | If you are compiling a kernel to run in a Xen network driver |
| 370 | domain (often this is domain 0) you should say Y here. To |
| 371 | compile this driver as a module, chose M here: the module |
| 372 | will be called xen-netback. |
