menu "Network device support"
depends on NET
config NETDEVICES
default y if UML
bool "Network device support"
---help---
You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
any other computer at all.
You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.
See also "The Linux Network Administrator's Guide" by Olaf Kirch and
Terry Dawson. Available at <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>.
If unsure, say Y.
# All the following symbols are dependent on NETDEVICES - do not repeat
# that for each of the symbols.
if NETDEVICES
config IFB
tristate "Intermediate Functional Block support"
depends on NET_CLS_ACT
---help---
This is an intermidiate driver that allows sharing of
resources.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
'ifb1' etc.
Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
config DUMMY
tristate "Dummy net driver support"
---help---
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.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called dummy. 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
tristate "Bonding driver support"
depends on INET
---help---
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, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
performance and high availability operation.
Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
information.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called bonding.
config EQUALIZER
tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
---help---
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.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
config TUN
tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
select CRC32
---help---
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.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called tun.
If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.
config NET_SB1000
tristate "General Instruments Surfboard 1000"
depends on PNP
---help---
This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
provided by your regular phone modem.
At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
<file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be
found at:
<http://www.jacksonville.net/~fventuri/>
<http://home.adelphia.net/~siglercm/sb1000.html>

If you don't have this card, of course say N.

menu "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)"
depends on !UML
config NET_ETHERNET
bool "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)"
---help---
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.tldp.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 MII
tristate "Generic Media Independent Interface device support"

config MACE
tristate "MACE (Power Mac ethernet) support"
depends on NET_ETHERNET && PPC_PMAC && PPC32
select CRC32
help
Power Macintoshes and clones with Ethernet built-in on the
motherboard will usually use a MACE (Medium Access Control for
Ethernet) interface. Say Y to include support for the MACE chip.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called mace.
config MACE_AAUI_PORT
bool "Use AAUI port instead of TP by default"
depends on MACE
help
Some Apple machines (notably the Apple Network Server) which use the
MACE ethernet chip have an Apple AUI port (small 15-pin connector),
instead of an 8-pin RJ45 connector for twisted-pair ethernet. Say
Y here if you have such a machine. If unsure, say N.
The driver will default to AAUI on ANS anyway, and if you use it as
a module, you can provide the port_aaui=0|1 to force the driver.
config BMAC

the memory.
config PLIP
tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
depends on PARPORT
---help---
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.tldp.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.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
<file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
later.
config PPP
tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
select SLHC
---help---
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.tldp.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.
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. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
The module will be called ppp_generic.
config PPP_MULTILINK
bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
help
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
bool "PPP filtering"
depends on PPP
help
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-dialed 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
tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"
depends on PPP
select CRC_CCITT
---help---
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.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
If unsure, say Y.
config PPP_SYNC_TTY
tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"
depends on PPP
help
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.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
config PPP_DEFLATE
tristate "PPP Deflate compression"
depends on PPP
select ZLIB_INFLATE
select ZLIB_DEFLATE
---help---
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.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
config PPP_BSDCOMP
tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
depends on PPP
---help---
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 and will show up in the directory
modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
config PPP_MPPE

configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.
config PPPOE
tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP
help
Support for PPP over Ethernet.
This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").
config PPPOATM
tristate "PPP over ATM"
depends on ATM && PPP
help
Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
config SLIP
tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
---help---
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.tldp.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.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
<file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
called slip.
config SLIP_COMPRESSED
bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
depends on SLIP
select SLHC
---help---
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.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.

help
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
bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
depends on SLIP
help
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 NET_FC
bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
depends on SCSI && PCI
help
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 SHAPER
tristate "Traffic Shaper (OBSOLETE)"
depends on EXPERIMENTAL
---help---
The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
these virtual devices. See
<file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
An alternative to this traffic shaper are traffic schedulers which
you'll get if you say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" in
