# # Tulip family network device configuration # menuconfig NET_TULIP bool "\"Tulip\" family network device support" depends on PCI || EISA || CARDBUS help This selects the "Tulip" family of EISA/PCI network cards. if NET_TULIP config DE2104X tristate "Early DECchip Tulip (dc2104x) PCI support" depends on PCI select CRC32 ---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 . To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will be called de2104x. config DE2104X_DSL 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. config TULIP tristate "DECchip Tulip (dc2114x) PCI support" depends on PCI select CRC32 ---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 (smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip" cards, above. However, most people with a network card of this type will say Y here.) Do read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from . To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will be called tulip. 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. config TULIP_DM910X def_bool y depends on TULIP && SPARC config DE4X5 tristate "Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISA" depends on PCI || EISA select CRC32 ---help--- 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 . More specific information is contained in . To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will be called de4x5. config WINBOND_840 tristate "Winbond W89c840 Ethernet support" depends on PCI select CRC32 select MII help 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 . config DM9102 tristate "Davicom DM910x/DM980x support" depends on PCI select CRC32 ---help--- This driver is for DM9102(A)/DM9132/DM9801 compatible PCI cards from Davicom (). If you have such a network (Ethernet) card, say Y. Some information is contained in the file . To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will be called dmfe. config ULI526X tristate "ULi M526x controller support" depends on PCI select CRC32 ---help--- This driver is for ULi M5261/M5263 10/100M Ethernet Controller (). To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will be called uli526x. config PCMCIA_XIRCOM tristate "Xircom CardBus support" 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. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will be called xircom_cb. If unsure, say N. endif # NET_TULIP
