14config DE2104X
15	tristate "Early DECchip Tulip (dc2104x) PCI support"
16	depends on PCI
17	select CRC32
18	---help---
19	  This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet
20	  cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip
21	  21040 (Tulip series) chips.  Some LinkSys PCI cards are
22	  of this type.  (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI
23	  (smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip"
24	  cards, below.  However, most people with a network card of this type
25	  will say Y here.)
26
27	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
28	  be called de2104x.

30config DE2104X_DSL
31	int "Descriptor Skip Length in 32 bit longwords"
32	depends on DE2104X
33	range 0 31
34	default 0
35	---help---
36	  Setting this value allows to align ring buffer descriptors into their
37	  own cache lines. Value of 4 corresponds to the typical 32 byte line
38	  (the descriptor is 16 bytes). This is necessary on systems that lack
39	  cache coherence, an example is PowerMac 5500. Otherwise 0 is safe.
40	  Default is 0, and range is 0 to 31.

42config TULIP
43	tristate "DECchip Tulip (dc2114x) PCI support"
44	depends on PCI
45	select CRC32
46	---help---
47	  This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet
48	  cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip
49	  21140 (Tulip series) chips.  Some LinkSys PCI cards are
50	  of this type.  (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI
51	  (smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip"
52	  cards, above.  However, most people with a network card of this type

58config TULIP_MWI
59	bool "New bus configuration"
60	depends on TULIP
61	---help---
62	  This configures your Tulip card specifically for the card and
63	  system cache line size type you are using.
64
65	  This is experimental code, not yet tested on many boards.
66
67	  If unsure, say N.
68
69config TULIP_MMIO
70	bool "Use PCI shared mem for NIC registers"
71	depends on TULIP
72	---help---
73	  Use PCI shared memory for the NIC registers, rather than going through
74	  the Tulip's PIO (programmed I/O ports).  Faster, but could produce
75	  obscure bugs if your mainboard has memory controller timing issues.
76	  If in doubt, say N.
77
78config TULIP_NAPI
79	bool "Use RX polling (NAPI)"
80	depends on TULIP
81	---help---
82	  NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
83	  when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
84	  still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
85
86	  If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
87	  deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
88	  then say Y here.
89
90	  If in doubt, say N.
91
92config TULIP_NAPI_HW_MITIGATION
93	bool "Use Interrupt Mitigation"
94	depends on TULIP_NAPI
95	---help---
96	  Use HW to reduce RX interrupts. Not strictly necessary since NAPI
97	  reduces RX interrupts by itself. Interrupt mitigation reduces RX
98	  interrupts even at low levels of traffic at the cost of a small
99	  latency.
100
101	  If in doubt, say Y.

110	depends on VIRT_TO_BUS || ALPHA || PPC || SPARC
111	select CRC32
112	---help---
113	  This is support for the DIGITAL series of PCI/EISA Ethernet cards.
114	  These include the DE425, DE434, DE435, DE450 and DE500 models.  If
115	  you have a network card of this type, say Y.  More specific
116	  information is contained in
117	  <file:Documentation/networking/device_drivers/dec/de4x5.txt>.

119	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
120	  be called de4x5.

123	tristate "Winbond W89c840 Ethernet support"
124	depends on PCI
125	select CRC32
126	select MII
127	---help---
128	  This driver is for the Winbond W89c840 chip.  It also works with
129	  the TX9882 chip on the Compex RL100-ATX board.
130	  More specific information and updates are available from

135	depends on PCI
136	select CRC32
137	---help---
138	  This driver is for DM9102(A)/DM9132/DM9801 compatible PCI cards from
139	  Davicom (<http://www.davicom.com.tw/>).  If you have such a network
140	  (Ethernet) card, say Y.  Some information is contained in the file
141	  <file:Documentation/networking/device_drivers/dec/dmfe.txt>.
142
143	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will

151	  This driver is for ULi M5261/M5263 10/100M Ethernet Controller
152	  (<http://www.nvidia.com/page/uli_drivers.html>).
153
154	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
155	  be called uli526x.

157config PCMCIA_XIRCOM
158	tristate "Xircom CardBus support"
159	depends on CARDBUS
160	---help---
161	  This driver is for the Digital "Tulip" Ethernet CardBus adapters.
162	  It should work with most DEC 21*4*-based chips/ethercards, as well
163	  as with work-alike chips from Lite-On (PNIC) and Macronix (MXIC) and
164	  ASIX.
165
166	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
167	  be called xircom_cb.  If unsure, say N.
