## Network device configuration#menuconfig NETDEVICESdefault y if UMLdepends on NETbool "Network device support"---help---You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box toany other computer at all.You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card thatyou want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP overtelephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connectingtwo machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well asAX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.See also "The Linux Network Administrator's Guide" by Olaf Kirch andTerry 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 NETDEVICESconfig NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUEbool "Netdevice multiple hardware queue support"---help---Say Y here if you want to allow the network stack to use multiplehardware TX queues on an ethernet device.Most people will say N here.config IFBtristate "Intermediate Functional Block support"depends on NET_CLS_ACT---help---This is an intermediate driver that allows sharing ofresources.To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the modulewill be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifbdevice 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 etcconfig DUMMYtristate "Dummy net driver support"---help---This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send tothis device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IPaddress. It is most commonly used in order to make your currentlyinactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since thisthing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge yourkernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the NetworkAdministrator's Guide, available from<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the modulewill be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummydevice 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 BONDINGtristate "Bonding driver support"depends on INET---help---Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple EthernetChannels 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 highperformance and high availability operation.Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for moreinformation.To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the modulewill be called bonding.config MACVLANtristate "MAC-VLAN support (EXPERIMENTAL)"depends on EXPERIMENTAL---help---This allows one to create virtual interfaces that map packets toor from specific MAC addresses to a particular interface.To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the modulewill be called macvlan.config EQUALIZERtristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"---help---If you have two serial connections to some other computer (thisusually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you useSLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephonelines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave likeone double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this hasto be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQLLinux 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 readsection 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 modulewill be called eql. If unsure, say N.config TUNtristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"select CRC32---help---TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user spaceprograms. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernetdevice, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,receives them from user space program and instead of sending packetsvia physical media writes them to the user space program.When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registerscorresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed abovedevices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device andall routes corresponding to it.Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for moreinformation.To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the modulewill be called tun.If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.config VETHtristate "Virtual ethernet pair device"---help---This device is a local ethernet tunnel. Devices are created in pairs.When one end receives the packet it appears on its pair and viceversa.config NET_SB1000tristate "General Instruments Surfboard 1000"depends on PNP---help---This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known asNextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internalcable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cableTV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-waydownstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link isprovided by your regular phone modem.At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here ifyou have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read<file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on howto use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishinga connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can befound at:<http://www.jacksonville.net/~fventuri/><http://home.adelphia.net/~siglercm/sb1000.html><http://linuxpower.cx/~cable/>If you don't have this card, of course say N.source "drivers/net/arcnet/Kconfig"source "drivers/net/phy/Kconfig"## Ethernet#menuconfig NET_ETHERNETbool "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)"depends on !UML---help---Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most commontype of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps overcoaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twistedpair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to centralhubs), 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 paircables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)[the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and GigabitEthernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you havean 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>.

HIPPIcan run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km onsingle-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and toconnect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI networkand have a HIPPI network card in your computer that you want to useunder Linux, say Y here (you must also remember to enable the driverfor your HIPPI card below). Most people will say N here.config ROADRUNNERtristate "Essential RoadRunner HIPPI PCI adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"depends on HIPPI && PCIhelpSay Y here if this is your PCI HIPPI network card.To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the modulewill be called rrunner. If unsure, say N.config ROADRUNNER_LARGE_RINGSbool "Use large TX/RX rings (EXPERIMENTAL)"depends on ROADRUNNERhelpIf you say Y here, the RoadRunner driver will preallocate up to 2 MBof additional memory to allow for fastest operation, both fortransmitting and receiving. This memory cannot be used by any otherkernel code or by user space programs. Say Y here only if you havethe memory.config PLIPtristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"depends on PARPORT---help---PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create areasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means toinstall a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have aCD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppiesfirst). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP optionenabled for this to work.The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallelports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connectedwith "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used onbidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at atime (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in<file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windowsand has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packetdriver (<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 wellas the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIPprotocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work togetherwith the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlargesyour kernel by about 8 KB.To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The modulewill be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buya laptop later.config PPPtristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"select SLHC---help---PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It servesthe same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and otherserial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, becauseotherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers thesedays support PPP rather than SLIP.To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as describedin the PPP-HOWTO, available at<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you havethe 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 forasynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, andsynchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines forexample. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or otherasynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also tothe next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP oversynchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Supportsynchronous PPP", below.If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, thenyou cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then onlycompile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose Mhere. The module will be called ppp_generic.config PPP_MULTILINKbool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTALhelpPPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows youto combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPPconnection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need aversion of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.If unsure, say N.config PPP_FILTERbool "PPP filtering"depends on PPPhelpSay Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing overPPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count asactivity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring upa 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 andactive-filter options to pppd.If unsure, say N.config PPP_ASYNCtristate "PPP support for async serial ports"depends on PPPselect CRC_CCITT---help---Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standardasynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you usea modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, youneed this option.To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.If unsure, say Y.config PPP_SYNC_TTYtristate "PPP support for sync tty ports"depends on PPPhelpSay Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous(HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devicesare often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1.To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.config PPP_DEFLATEtristate "PPP Deflate compression"depends on PPPselect ZLIB_INFLATEselect ZLIB_DEFLATE---help---Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses theDeflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compresseach PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at theother end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support theDeflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even ifthey don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.config PPP_BSDCOMPtristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"depends on PPP---help---Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which usesthe LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it issent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link(usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compressionmethod 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 betterand is patent-free.Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as amodule; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directorymodules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.config PPP_MPPEtristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)"depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTALselect CRYPTOselect CRYPTO_SHA1select CRYPTO_ARC4select CRYPTO_ECB---help---Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by theMicrosoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol.See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information onconfiguring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method.config PPPOEtristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)"depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPPhelpSupport for PPP over Ethernet.This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVSrepository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see theRoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)which contains instruction on how to use this driver (underthe heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").config PPPOATMtristate "PPP over ATM"depends on ATM && PPPhelpSupport 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 andchanges its encapsulation unilaterally.config PPPOL2TPtristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)"depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP && INEThelpSupport for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocolused by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDPtunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.This kernel component handles only L2TP data packets: auserland daemon handles L2TP the control protocol (tunneland session setup). One such daemon is OpenL2TP(http://openl2tp.sourceforge.net/).config SLIPtristate "SLIP (serial line) support"---help---Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) toconnect to your Internet service provider or to connect to someother local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as aSlip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial LineInternet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic overserial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this samepurpose.Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for youto be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRParound (available from<ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) whichallows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. Ifyou plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. TheNET-3-HOWTO, available from<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how toconfigure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you justwant to run term (term is a program which gives you almost fullInternet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account onsome Internet connected Unix computer. Read<http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIPsupport will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The modulewill be called slip.config SLIP_COMPRESSEDbool "CSLIP compressed headers"depends on SLIPselect SLHC---help---This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on theTCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supportedon both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure andanswer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. Ifyou plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from<ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) whichallows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, youdefinitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configureCSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.config SLHCtristatehelpThis option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compressionroutines.config SLIP_SMARTbool "Keepalive and linefill"depends on SLIPhelpAdds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support theRELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor qualityanalogue lines.config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"depends on SLIPhelpJust occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serialnetworks that don't pass all control characters or are only sevenbit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:"slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols overthe serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the otherend of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IPover the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.config NET_FCbool "Fibre Channel driver support"depends on SCSI && PCIhelpFibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connectlarge storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with andintended to replace SCSI.If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channeladaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for youradaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and"SCSI generic support".config SHAPERtristate "Traffic Shaper (OBSOLETE)"depends on EXPERIMENTAL---help---The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you tolimit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed throughthese virtual devices. See<file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.An alternative to this traffic shaper are traffic schedulers whichyou'll get if you say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" in"Networking options".To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the modulewill be called shaper.
