# Realtek device configuration

config NET_VENDOR_REALTEK

depends on PCI || (PARPORT && X86)
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 Realtek devices. If you say Y, you will be asked for
17
your specific card in the following questions.
22
tristate "AT-LAN-TEC/RealTek pocket adapter support"
23
depends on PARPORT && X86
26
This is a network (Ethernet) device which attaches to your parallel
27
port. Read <file:drivers/net/atp.c> as well as the Ethernet-HOWTO,
28
available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, if you
29
want to use this. If you intend to use this driver, you should have
30
said N to the "Parallel printer support", because the two drivers
31
don't like each other.
33
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
37
tristate "RealTek RTL-8139 C+ PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
38
depends on PCI && EXPERIMENTAL
43
This is a driver for the Fast Ethernet PCI network cards based on
44
the RTL8139C+ chips. If you have one of those, say Y and read
45
the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
46
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
48
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
49
will be called 8139cp. This is recommended.
52
tristate "RealTek RTL-8129/8130/8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support"
58
This is a driver for the Fast Ethernet PCI network cards based on
59
the RTL 8129/8130/8139 chips. If you have one of those, say Y and
60
read the Ethernet-HOWTO <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
62
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
63
will be called 8139too. This is recommended.
66
bool "Use PIO instead of MMIO"
70
This instructs the driver to use programmed I/O ports (PIO) instead
71
of PCI shared memory (MMIO). This can possibly solve some problems
72
in case your mainboard has memory consistency issues. If unsure,
75
config 8139TOO_TUNE_TWISTER
76
bool "Support for uncommon RTL-8139 rev. K (automatic channel equalization)"
79
This implements a function which might come in handy in case you
80
are using low quality on long cabling. It is required for RealTek
81
RTL-8139 revision K boards, and totally unused otherwise. It tries
82
to match the transceiver to the cable characteristics. This is
83
experimental since hardly documented by the manufacturer.
87
bool "Support for older RTL-8129/8130 boards"
90
This enables support for the older and uncommon RTL-8129 and
91
RTL-8130 chips, which support MII via an external transceiver,
92
instead of an internal one. Disabling this option will save some
93
memory by making the code size smaller. If unsure, say Y.
95
config 8139_OLD_RX_RESET
96
bool "Use older RX-reset method"
99
The 8139too driver was recently updated to contain a more rapid
100
reset sequence, in the face of severe receive errors. This "new"
101
RX-reset method should be adequate for all boards. But if you
102
experience problems, you can enable this option to restore the
103
old RX-reset behavior. If unsure, say N.
106
tristate "Realtek 8169 gigabit ethernet support"
113
Say Y here if you have a Realtek 8169 PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapter.
115
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
116
will be called r8169. This is recommended.
