# Tulip family network device configuration

bool "DEC - Tulip devices"

depends on (PCI || EISA || CARDBUS)
9
This selects the "Tulip" family of EISA/PCI network cards.

tristate "Early DECchip Tulip (dc2104x) PCI support"
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>.

31
int "Descriptor Skip Length in 32 bit longwords"
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.
43
tristate "DECchip Tulip (dc2114x) PCI support"
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"

bool "New bus configuration (EXPERIMENTAL)"
61
depends on TULIP && EXPERIMENTAL
63
This configures your Tulip card specifically for the card and
64
system cache line size type you are using.
66
This is experimental code, not yet tested on many boards.
71
bool "Use PCI shared mem for NIC registers"
74
Use PCI shared memory for the NIC registers, rather than going through
75
the Tulip's PIO (programmed I/O ports). Faster, but could produce
76
obscure bugs if your mainboard has memory controller timing issues.
80
bool "Use RX polling (NAPI)"
83
NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
84
when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
85
still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
87
If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
88
deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),
93
config TULIP_NAPI_HW_MITIGATION
94
bool "Use Interrupt Mitigation"
97
Use HW to reduce RX interrupts. Not strictly necessary since NAPI
98
reduces RX interrupts by itself. Interrupt mitigation reduces RX
99
interrupts even at low levels of traffic at the cost of a small

depends on TULIP && SPARC
109
tristate "Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISA"
110
depends on (PCI || EISA)
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 and read the
116
Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
117
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. More specific
118
information is contained in

tristate "Winbond W89c840 Ethernet support"
131
This driver is for the Winbond W89c840 chip. It also works with
132
the TX9882 chip on the Compex RL100-ATX board.
133
More specific information and updates are available from
134

tristate "Davicom DM910x/DM980x support"
141
This driver is for DM9102(A)/DM9132/DM9801 compatible PCI cards from
142
Davicom (<http://www.davicom.com.tw/>). If you have such a network
143
(Ethernet) card, say Y. Some information is contained in the file

tristate "Xircom CardBus support"
164
This driver is for the Digital "Tulip" Ethernet CardBus adapters.
165
It should work with most DEC 21*4*-based chips/ethercards, as well
166
as with work-alike chips from Lite-On (PNIC) and Macronix (MXIC) and

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will

be called xircom_cb. If unsure, say N.
