2 # Intel network device configuration
5 config NET_VENDOR_INTEL
7 depends on PCI || PCI_MSI
9 If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y
10 and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
11 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
13 Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
14 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
15 the questions about Intel cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for
16 your specific card in the following questions.
21 tristate "Intel(R) PRO/100+ support"
25 This driver supports Intel(R) PRO/100 family of adapters.
26 To verify that your adapter is supported, find the board ID number
27 on the adapter. Look for a label that has a barcode and a number
28 in the format 123456-001 (six digits hyphen three digits).
30 Use the above information and the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
32 <http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>
34 to identify the adapter.

73 ethernet family of adapters. For PCI or PCI-X e1000 adapters,
74 use the regular e1000 driver For more information on how to
75 identify your adapter, go to the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
77 <http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>
79 For general information and support, go to the Intel support
82 <http://support.intel.com>
84 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
85 will be called e1000e.
88 tristate "Intel(R) 82575/82576 PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet support"
91 This driver supports Intel(R) 82575/82576 gigabit ethernet family of
92 adapters. For more information on how to identify your adapter, go
93 to the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
95 <http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>
97 For general information and support, go to the Intel support

109 bool "Direct Cache Access (DCA) Support"
111 depends on IGB && DCA && !(IGB=y && DCA=m)
113 Say Y here if you want to use Direct Cache Access (DCA) in the
114 driver. DCA is a method for warming the CPU cache before data
115 is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses.
118 tristate "Intel(R) 82576 Virtual Function Ethernet support"
121 This driver supports Intel(R) 82576 virtual functions. For more

127 For general information and support, go to the Intel support
130 <http://support.intel.com>
132 More specific information on configuring the driver is in
133 <file:Documentation/networking/e1000.txt>.
135 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
136 will be called igbvf.
139 tristate "Intel(R) PRO/10GbE support"
142 This driver supports Intel(R) PRO/10GbE family of adapters for
143 PCI-X type cards. For PCI-E type cards, use the "ixgbe" driver
144 instead. For more information on how to identify your adapter, go
145 to the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
147 <http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>
149 For general information and support, go to the Intel support
152 <http://support.intel.com>

155 <file:Documentation/networking/ixgb.txt>.
157 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
161 tristate "Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express adapters support"
162 depends on PCI && INET
165 This driver supports Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express family of
166 adapters. For more information on how to identify your adapter, go
167 to the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
169 <http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>

180 bool "Direct Cache Access (DCA) Support"
182 depends on IXGBE && DCA && !(IXGBE=y && DCA=m)
184 Say Y here if you want to use Direct Cache Access (DCA) in the
185 driver. DCA is a method for warming the CPU cache before data
186 is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses.
189 bool "Data Center Bridging (DCB) Support"
191 depends on IXGBE && DCB
193 Say Y here if you want to use Data Center Bridging (DCB) in the
199 tristate "Intel(R) 82599 Virtual Function Ethernet support"
