6 depends on NET_ETHERNET && (PCI || EISA || CARDBUS)
9 bool "\"Tulip\" family network device support"
11 This selects the "Tulip" family of EISA/PCI network cards.
14 tristate "Early DECchip Tulip (dc2104x) PCI support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
15 depends on NET_TULIP && PCI && EXPERIMENTAL
18 This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet
19 cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip
20 21040 (Tulip series) chips. Some LinkSys PCI cards are
21 of this type. (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI
22 (smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip"
23 cards, below. However, most people with a network card of this type
24 will say Y here.) Do read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
25 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
27 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read

32 tristate "DECchip Tulip (dc2114x) PCI support"
33 depends on NET_TULIP && PCI
36 This driver is developed for the SMC EtherPower series Ethernet
37 cards and also works with cards based on the DECchip
38 21140 (Tulip series) chips. Some LinkSys PCI cards are
39 of this type. (If your card is NOT SMC EtherPower 10/100 PCI
40 (smc9332dst), you can also try the driver for "Generic DECchip"
41 cards, above. However, most people with a network card of this type
42 will say Y here.) Do read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from

52 bool "New bus configuration (EXPERIMENTAL)"
53 depends on TULIP && EXPERIMENTAL
55 This configures your Tulip card specifically for the card and
56 system cache line size type you are using.
58 This is experimental code, not yet tested on many boards.
63 bool "Use PCI shared mem for NIC registers"
66 Use PCI shared memory for the NIC registers, rather than going through
67 the Tulip's PIO (programmed I/O ports). Faster, but could produce
68 obscure bugs if your mainboard has memory controller timing issues.
72 bool "Use NAPI RX polling "
75 This is of useful for servers and routers dealing with high network loads.
77 See <file:Documentation/networking/NAPI_HOWTO.txt>.
81 config TULIP_NAPI_HW_MITIGATION
82 bool "Use Interrupt Mitigation "
85 Use HW to reduce RX interrupts. Not strict necessary since NAPI reduces
86 RX interrupts but itself. Although this reduces RX interrupts even at
87 low levels traffic at the cost of a small latency.
92 tristate "Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISA"
93 depends on NET_TULIP && (PCI || EISA)
96 This is support for the DIGITAL series of PCI/EISA Ethernet cards.
97 These include the DE425, DE434, DE435, DE450 and DE500 models. If
98 you have a network card of this type, say Y and read the
99 Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
100 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. More specific
101 information is contained in

109 tristate "Winbond W89c840 Ethernet support"
110 depends on NET_TULIP && PCI
114 This driver is for the Winbond W89c840 chip. It also works with
115 the TX9882 chip on the Compex RL100-ATX board.
116 More specific information and updates are available from
117 <http://www.scyld.com/network/drivers.html>.
120 tristate "Davicom DM910x/DM980x support"
121 depends on NET_TULIP && PCI
124 This driver is for DM9102(A)/DM9132/DM9801 compatible PCI cards from
125 Davicom (<http://www.davicom.com.tw/>). If you have such a network
126 (Ethernet) card, say Y. Some information is contained in the file

134 tristate "Xircom CardBus support (new driver)"
135 depends on NET_TULIP && CARDBUS
137 This driver is for the Digital "Tulip" Ethernet CardBus adapters.
138 It should work with most DEC 21*4*-based chips/ethercards, as well
139 as with work-alike chips from Lite-On (PNIC) and Macronix (MXIC) and
142 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
143 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will
144 be called xircom_cb. If unsure, say N.

147 tristate "Xircom Tulip-like CardBus support (old driver)"
148 depends on NET_TULIP && CARDBUS && BROKEN_ON_SMP
151 This driver is for the Digital "Tulip" Ethernet CardBus adapters.
152 It should work with most DEC 21*4*-based chips/ethercards, as well
153 as with work-alike chips from Lite-On (PNIC) and Macronix (MXIC) and
