# 3Com Ethernet device configuration
8
depends on ISA || EISA || MCA || PCI || PCMCIA
10
If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y
11
and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
12
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
14
Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
15
kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
16
the questions about 3Com cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for
17
your specific card in the following questions.
22
tristate "3c501 \"EtherLink\" support"
25
If you have a network (Ethernet) card of this type, say Y and read
26
the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
27
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Also, consider buying a
28
new card, since the 3c501 is slow, broken, and obsolete: you will
29
have problems. Some people suggest to ping ("man ping") a nearby
30
machine every minute ("man cron") when using this card.
32
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
36
tristate "3c509/3c529 (MCA)/3c579 \"EtherLink III\" support"
37
depends on (ISA || EISA || MCA)
39
If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to the 3Com
40
EtherLinkIII series, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available
41
from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
43
If your card is not working you may need to use the DOS
44
setup disk to disable Plug & Play mode, and to select the default
47
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
51
tristate "3c515 ISA \"Fast EtherLink\""
52
depends on (ISA || EISA) && ISA_DMA_API
54
If you have a 3Com ISA EtherLink XL "Corkscrew" 3c515 Fast Ethernet
55
network card, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
56
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
58
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
62
tristate "3Com 3c574 PCMCIA support"
65
Say Y here if you intend to attach a 3Com 3c574 or compatible PCMCIA
66
(PC-card) Fast Ethernet card to your computer.
68
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
69
called 3c574_cs. If unsure, say N.
72
tristate "3Com 3c589 PCMCIA support"
75
Say Y here if you intend to attach a 3Com 3c589 or compatible PCMCIA
76
(PC-card) Ethernet card to your computer.
78
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
79
called 3c589_cs. If unsure, say N.
82
tristate "3c590/3c900 series (592/595/597) \"Vortex/Boomerang\" support"
83
depends on (PCI || EISA)
87
This option enables driver support for a large number of 10Mbps and
88
10/100Mbps EISA, PCI and PCMCIA 3Com network cards:
90
"Vortex" (Fast EtherLink 3c590/3c592/3c595/3c597) EISA and PCI
91
"Boomerang" (EtherLink XL 3c900 or 3c905) PCI
92
"Cyclone" (3c540/3c900/3c905/3c980/3c575/3c656) PCI and Cardbus
94
"Hurricane" (3c555/3cSOHO) PCI
96
If you have such a card, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO,
97
available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. More
98
specific information is in
99
<file:Documentation/networking/vortex.txt> and in the comments at
100
the beginning of <file:drivers/net/3c59x.c>.
102
To compile this support as a module, choose M here.
105
tristate "3cr990 series \"Typhoon\" support"
109
This option enables driver support for the 3cr990 series of cards:
111
3C990-TX, 3CR990-TX-95, 3CR990-TX-97, 3CR990-FX-95, 3CR990-FX-97,
112
3CR990SVR, 3CR990SVR95, 3CR990SVR97, 3CR990-FX-95 Server,
113
3CR990-FX-97 Server, 3C990B-TX-M, 3C990BSVR
115
If you have a network (Ethernet) card of this type, say Y and read
116
the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
117
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
119
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
120
will be called typhoon.
