This option enables driver support for a large number of 10mbps and 10/100mbps EISA, PCI and PCMCIA 3Com network cards:
| "Vortex" | (Fast EtherLink 3c590/3c592/3c595/3c597) | EISA and PCI |
| "Boomerang" | (EtherLink XL 3c900 or 3c905) | PCI |
| "Cyclone" | (3c540/3c900/3c905/3c980/3c575/3c656) | PCI and Cardbus |
| "Tornado" | (3c905) | PCI |
| "Hurricane" | (3c555/3cSOHO) | PCI |
If you have such a card, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. More specific information is in Documentation/networking/vortex.txt and in the comments at the beginning of drivers/net/3c59x.c.
If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt. The module will be called 3c59x.o.
If you have a PCnet32 or PCnetPCI based network (Ethernet) card, answer Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto.>
This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). The module will be called pcnet32.o. If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt as well as Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt.If you have an Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 PCI network (Ethernet) card, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). The module will be called eepro100.o. If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt as well as Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt.
This driver is for NE2000 compatible PCI cards. It will not work with ISA NE2000 cards (they have their own driver, "NE2000/NE1000 support" below). If you have a PCI NE2000 network (Ethernet) card, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
This driver also works for the following NE2000 clone cards:
| RealTek RTL-8029 | Winbond 89C940 | Compex RL2000 | KTI ET32P2 | |
| NetVin NV5000SC | Via 86C926 | SureCom NE34 | Winbond | |
| Holtek HT80232 | Holtek HT80229 |
This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want). The module will be called ne2k-pci.o. If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt as well as Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt.
This is a driver for the Fast Ethernet PCI network cards based on the RTL8139 chips. If you have one of those, say Y and read Documentation/networking/8139too.txt as well as the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
If you want to compile this driver as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt This is recommended. The module will be called 8139too.o.
This implements a function which might come in handy in case you are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer. If unsure, say Y.
This is a driver for the Fast Ethernet PCI network cards based on the SiS 900 and SiS 7016 chips. The SiS 900 core is also embedded in SiS 630 and SiS 540 chipsets. If you have one of those, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available at <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Please read Documentation/networking/sis900.txt and comments at the beginning of drivers/net/sis900.c for more information.
This driver also supports AMD 79C901 HomePNA so that you can use your phone line as a network cable.
If you want to compile this driver as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt. This is recommended. The module will be called sis900.o.
This driver is for the SMC EtherPower II 9432 PCI Ethernet NIC, which is based on the SMC83c17x (EPIC/100). More specific information and updates are available from <http://www.scyld.com/network/epic100.html>.
If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt The module will be called epic100.o.
