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.

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 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. It won't enlarge your kernel. 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. 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>.

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 IFB tristate "Intermediate Functional Block support" depends on NET_CLS_ACT ---help--- This is an intermediate 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 source "drivers/net/team/Kconfig" config MACVLAN tristate "MAC-VLAN support" ---help--- This allows one to create virtual interfaces that map packets to or from specific MAC addresses to a particular interface. Macvlan devices can be added using the "ip" command from the iproute2 package starting with the iproute2-2.6.23 release: "ip link add link <real dev> [ address MAC ] [ NAME ] type macvlan" To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called macvlan. config MACVTAP tristate "MAC-VLAN based tap driver" depends on MACVLAN depends on INET select TAP help This adds a specialized tap character device driver that is based on the MAC-VLAN network interface, called macvtap.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called macvtap. config IPVLAN tristate "IP-VLAN support" depends on INET depends on IPV6 || !IPV6 depends on NETFILTER select NET_L3_MASTER_DEV ---help--- This allows one to create virtual devices off of a main interface and packets will be delivered based on the dest L3 (IPv6/IPv4 addr) on packets. All interfaces (including the main interface) share L2 making it transparent to the connected L2 switch. Ipvlan devices can be added using the "ip" command from the iproute2 package starting with the iproute2-3.19 release: "ip link add link <main-dev> [ NAME ] type ipvlan" To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ipvlan. config IPVTAP tristate "IP-VLAN based tap driver" depends on IPVLAN depends on INET select TAP ---help--- This adds a specialized tap character device driver that is based on the IP-VLAN network interface, called ipvtap.

This tunneling protocol is used to prevent subscribers from accessing mobile carrier core network infrastructure. This driver requires a userspace software that implements the signaling protocol (GTP-C) to update its PDP context base, such as OpenGGSN <http://git.osmocom.org/openggsn/). This tunneling protocol is implemented according to the GSM TS 09.60 and 3GPP TS 29.060 standards.

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.

Userspace programs can control the feature using the TUNSETVNETBE and TUNGETVNETBE ioctls. Unless you have a little-endian system hosting a big-endian virtual machine with a legacy virtio NIC, you should say N. config VETH tristate "Virtual ethernet pair device" ---help--- This device is a local ethernet tunnel.

It can be used with QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M. config NLMON tristate "Virtual netlink monitoring device" ---help--- This option enables a monitoring net device for netlink skbs. The purpose of this is to analyze netlink messages with packet sockets. Thus applications like tcpdump will be able to see local netlink messages if they tap into the netlink device, record pcaps for further diagnostics, etc. This is mostly intended for developers or support to debug netlink issues.

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.

To compile this driver as a module, chose M here: the module will be called xen-netfront. config XEN_NETDEV_BACKEND tristate "Xen backend network device" depends on XEN_BACKEND help This driver allows the kernel to act as a Xen network driver domain which exports paravirtual network devices to other Xen domains. These devices can be accessed by any operating system that implements a compatible front end. The corresponding Linux frontend driver is enabled by the CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND configuration option. The backend driver presents a standard network device endpoint for each paravirtual network device to the driver domain network stack. These can then be bridged or routed etc in order to provide full network connectivity.
