# # 3Com Ethernet device configuration # config NET_VENDOR_3COM bool "3Com devices" depends on ISA || EISA || MCA || PCI || PCMCIA ---help--- If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from . Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all the questions about 3Com cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for your specific card in the following questions. if NET_VENDOR_3COM config EL1 tristate "3c501 \"EtherLink\" support" depends on ISA ---help--- If you have a network (Ethernet) card of this type, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from . Also, consider buying a new card, since the 3c501 is slow, broken, and obsolete: you will have problems. Some people suggest to ping ("man ping") a nearby machine every minute ("man cron") when using this card. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will be called 3c501. config EL3 tristate "3c509/3c529 (MCA)/3c579 \"EtherLink III\" support" depends on (ISA || EISA || MCA) ---help--- If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to the 3Com EtherLinkIII series, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from . If your card is not working you may need to use the DOS setup disk to disable Plug & Play mode, and to select the default media type. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will be called 3c509. config 3C515 tristate "3c515 ISA \"Fast EtherLink\"" depends on (ISA || EISA) && ISA_DMA_API ---help--- If you have a 3Com ISA EtherLink XL "Corkscrew" 3c515 Fast Ethernet network card, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from . To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will be called 3c515. config PCMCIA_3C574 tristate "3Com 3c574 PCMCIA support" depends on PCMCIA ---help--- Say Y here if you intend to attach a 3Com 3c574 or compatible PCMCIA (PC-card) Fast Ethernet card to your computer. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called 3c574_cs. If unsure, say N. config PCMCIA_3C589 tristate "3Com 3c589 PCMCIA support" depends on PCMCIA ---help--- Say Y here if you intend to attach a 3Com 3c589 or compatible PCMCIA (PC-card) Ethernet card to your computer. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called 3c589_cs. If unsure, say N. config VORTEX tristate "3c590/3c900 series (592/595/597) \"Vortex/Boomerang\" support" depends on (PCI || EISA) select MII ---help--- 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 . More specific information is in and in the comments at the beginning of . To compile this support as a module, choose M here. config TYPHOON tristate "3cr990 series \"Typhoon\" support" depends on PCI select CRC32 ---help--- This option enables driver support for the 3cr990 series of cards: 3C990-TX, 3CR990-TX-95, 3CR990-TX-97, 3CR990-FX-95, 3CR990-FX-97, 3CR990SVR, 3CR990SVR95, 3CR990SVR97, 3CR990-FX-95 Server, 3CR990-FX-97 Server, 3C990B-TX-M, 3C990BSVR If you have a network (Ethernet) card of this type, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from . To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will be called typhoon. config ACENIC tristate "Alteon AceNIC/3Com 3C985/NetGear GA620 Gigabit support" depends on PCI ---help--- Say Y here if you have an Alteon AceNIC, 3Com 3C985(B), NetGear GA620, SGI Gigabit or Farallon PN9000-SX PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapter. The driver allows for using the Jumbo Frame option (9000 bytes/frame) however it requires that your switches can handle this as well. To enable Jumbo Frames, add `mtu 9000' to your ifconfig line. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called acenic. config ACENIC_OMIT_TIGON_I bool "Omit support for old Tigon I based AceNICs" depends on ACENIC ---help--- Say Y here if you only have Tigon II based AceNICs and want to leave out support for the older Tigon I based cards which are no longer being sold (ie. the original Alteon AceNIC and 3Com 3C985 (non B version)). This will reduce the size of the driver object by app. 100KB. If you are not sure whether your card is a Tigon I or a Tigon II, say N here. The safe and default value for this is N. endif # NET_VENDOR_3COM
