| ---help--- |
| This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet |
| cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip |
| 21040 (Tulip series) chips. Some LinkSys PCI cards are |
| of this type. (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI |
| (smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip" |
| cards, below. However, most people with a network card of this type |
| will say Y here.) Do read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from |

| int "Descriptor Skip Length in 32 bit longwords" |
| depends on DE2104X |
| range 0 31 |
| default 0 |
| help |
| Setting this value allows to align ring buffer descriptors into their |
| own cache lines. Value of 4 corresponds to the typical 32 byte line |
| (the descriptor is 16 bytes). This is necessary on systems that lack |
| cache coherence, an example is PowerMac 5500. Otherwise 0 is safe. |
| Default is 0, and range is 0 to 31. |

| ---help--- |
| This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet |
| cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip |
| 21140 (Tulip series) chips. Some LinkSys PCI cards are |
| of this type. (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI |

| config TULIP_MWI |
| bool "New bus configuration (EXPERIMENTAL)" |
| depends on TULIP && EXPERIMENTAL |
| help |
| This configures your Tulip card specifically for the card and |
| system cache line size type you are using. |
| |
| This is experimental code, not yet tested on many boards. |
| |
| If unsure, say N. |
| |
| config TULIP_MMIO |
| bool "Use PCI shared mem for NIC registers" |
| depends on TULIP |
| help |
| Use PCI shared memory for the NIC registers, rather than going through |
| the Tulip's PIO (programmed I/O ports). Faster, but could produce |
| obscure bugs if your mainboard has memory controller timing issues. |
| If in doubt, say N. |
| |
| config TULIP_NAPI |
| bool "Use RX polling (NAPI)" |
| depends on TULIP |
| help |
| NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load |
| when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is |
| still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default. |
| |
| If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be |
| deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall), |
| then say Y here. |
| |
| If in doubt, say N. |
| |
| config TULIP_NAPI_HW_MITIGATION |
| bool "Use Interrupt Mitigation" |
| depends on TULIP_NAPI |
| ---help--- |
| Use HW to reduce RX interrupts. Not strictly necessary since NAPI |
| reduces RX interrupts by itself. Interrupt mitigation reduces RX |
| interrupts even at low levels of traffic at the cost of a small |
| latency. |
| |
| If in doubt, say Y. |

| This is support for the DIGITAL series of PCI/EISA Ethernet cards. |
| These include the DE425, DE434, DE435, DE450 and DE500 models. If |
| you have a network card of this type, say Y and read the |
| Ethernet-HOWTO, available from |
| <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. More specific |

| This driver is for the Winbond W89c840 chip. It also works with |
| the TX9882 chip on the Compex RL100-ATX board. |
| More specific information and updates are available from |

| ---help--- |
| This driver is for DM9102(A)/DM9132/DM9801 compatible PCI cards from |
| Davicom (<http://www.davicom.com.tw/>). If you have such a network |
| (Ethernet) card, say Y. Some information is contained in the file |

| depends on CARDBUS |
| ---help--- |
| This driver is for the Digital "Tulip" Ethernet CardBus adapters. |
| It should work with most DEC 21*4*-based chips/ethercards, as well |
| as with work-alike chips from Lite-On (PNIC) and Macronix (MXIC) and |
| ASIX. |
