6	bool "Realtek devices"

9	---help---
10	  If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y.

12	  Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
13	  kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
14	  the questions about Realtek devices. If you say Y, you will be asked for
15	  your specific card in the following questions.

19config ATP
20	tristate "AT-LAN-TEC/RealTek pocket adapter support"
21	depends on PARPORT && X86
22	select CRC32
23	---help---
24	  This is a network (Ethernet) device which attaches to your parallel
25	  port. Read the file <file:drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/atp.c>
26	  if you want to use this.  If you intend to use this driver, you
27	  should have said N to the "Parallel printer support", because the two
28	  drivers don't like each other.
29
30	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
31	  will be called atp.
32
33config 8139CP
34	tristate "RealTek RTL-8139 C+ PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support"
35	depends on PCI
36	select CRC32
37	select MII
38	---help---
39	  This is a driver for the Fast Ethernet PCI network cards based on
40	  the RTL8139C+ chips. If you have one of those, say Y here.
41
42	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
43	  will be called 8139cp.  This is recommended.
44
45config 8139TOO
46	tristate "RealTek RTL-8129/8130/8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support"
47	depends on PCI
48	select CRC32
49	select MII
50	---help---
51	  This is a driver for the Fast Ethernet PCI network cards based on
52	  the RTL 8129/8130/8139 chips. If you have one of those, say Y here.
53
54	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
55	  will be called 8139too.  This is recommended.
56
57config 8139TOO_PIO
58	bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
59	default y
60	depends on 8139TOO
61	---help---
62	  This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
63	  of PCI shared memory (MMIO).  This can possibly solve some problems
64	  in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues.  If unsure,
65	  say N.
66
67config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
68	bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
69	depends on 8139TOO
70	---help---
71	  This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
72	  are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
73	  RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise.  It tries
74	  to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
75	  experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
76	  If unsure, say Y.
77
78config 8139TOO_8129
79	bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
80	depends on 8139TOO
81	---help---
82	  This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
83	  RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
84	  instead of an internal one.  Disabling this option will save some
85	  memory by making the code size smaller.  If unsure, say Y.
86
87config 8139_OLD_RX_RESET
88	bool "Use older RX-reset method"
89	depends on 8139TOO
90	---help---
91	  The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
92	  reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors.  This "new"
93	  RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards.  But if you
94	  experience problems, you can enable this option to restore the
95	  old RX-reset behavior.  If unsure, say N.
96
97config R8169
98	tristate "Realtek 8169 gigabit ethernet support"
99	depends on PCI
100	select FW_LOADER
101	select CRC32
102	select MII
103	---help---
104	  Say Y here if you have a Realtek 8169 PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapter.
105
106	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
107	  will be called r8169.  This is recommended.
