  menuconfig NETDEVICES
  	default y if UML
  	depends on NET
  	bool "Network device support"
  	---help---
  	  You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
  	  any other computer at all.
  
  	  You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
  	  you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
  	  telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
  	  two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
  	  AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.
  
  	  See also "The Linux Network Administrator's Guide" by Olaf Kirch and
  	  Terry Dawson. Available at <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>.
  
  	  If unsure, say Y.
  
  # All the following symbols are dependent on NETDEVICES - do not repeat
  # that for each of the symbols.
  if NETDEVICES
  
  config MII
  	tristate
  
  config NET_CORE
  	default y
  	bool "Network core driver support"
  	---help---
  	  You can say N here if you do not intend to use any of the
  	  networking core drivers (i.e. VLAN, bridging, bonding, etc.)
  
  if NET_CORE
  
  config BONDING
  	tristate "Bonding driver support"
  	depends on INET
  	depends on IPV6 || IPV6=n
  	---help---
  	  Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
  	  Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
  	  'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
  
  	  The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
  	  performance and high availability operation.
  
  	  Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
  	  information.
  
  	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  	  will be called bonding.
  
  config DUMMY
  	tristate "Dummy net driver support"
  	---help---
  	  This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
  	  this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
  	  address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
  	  inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
  	  If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. It won't
  	  enlarge your kernel. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
  	  Administrator's Guide, available from
  	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
  
  	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  	  will be called dummy.
  
  config EQUALIZER
  	tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
  	---help---
  	  If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
  	  usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
  	  SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
  	  lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
  	  one double speed connection using this driver.  Naturally, this has
  	  to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
  	  Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
  
  	  Say Y if you want this and read
  	  <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>.  You may also want to read
  	  section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
  	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
  
  	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  	  will be called eql.  If unsure, say N.
  
  config NET_FC
  	bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
  	depends on SCSI && PCI
  	help
  	  Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
  	  large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
  	  intended to replace SCSI.
  
  	  If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
  	  adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
  	  adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
  	  "SCSI generic support".
  
  config IFB
  	tristate "Intermediate Functional Block support"
  	depends on NET_CLS_ACT
  	---help---
  	  This is an intermediate driver that allows sharing of
  	  resources.
  	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  	  will be called ifb.  If you want to use more than one ifb
  	  device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
  	  Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
  	  'ifb1' etc.
  	  Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
  
  source "drivers/net/team/Kconfig"
  
  config MACVLAN
  	tristate "MAC-VLAN support"
  	---help---
  	  This allows one to create virtual interfaces that map packets to
  	  or from specific MAC addresses to a particular interface.
  
  	  Macvlan devices can be added using the "ip" command from the
  	  iproute2 package starting with the iproute2-2.6.23 release:
  
  	  "ip link add link <real dev> [ address MAC ] [ NAME ] type macvlan"
  
  	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  	  will be called macvlan.
  
  config MACVTAP
  	tristate "MAC-VLAN based tap driver"
  	depends on MACVLAN
  	depends on INET
  	select TAP
  	help
  	  This adds a specialized tap character device driver that is based
  	  on the MAC-VLAN network interface, called macvtap. A macvtap device
  	  can be added in the same way as a macvlan device, using 'type
  	  macvtap', and then be accessed through the tap user space interface.
  
  	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  	  will be called macvtap.
  
  
  config IPVLAN
      tristate "IP-VLAN support"
      depends on INET
      depends on IPV6
      depends on NETFILTER
      depends on NET_L3_MASTER_DEV
      ---help---
        This allows one to create virtual devices off of a main interface
        and packets will be delivered based on the dest L3 (IPv6/IPv4 addr)
        on packets. All interfaces (including the main interface) share L2
        making it transparent to the connected L2 switch.
  
        Ipvlan devices can be added using the "ip" command from the
        iproute2 package starting with the iproute2-3.19 release:
  
        "ip link add link <main-dev> [ NAME ] type ipvlan"
  
        To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
        will be called ipvlan.
  
  config IPVTAP
  	tristate "IP-VLAN based tap driver"
  	depends on IPVLAN
  	depends on INET
  	select TAP
  	---help---
  	  This adds a specialized tap character device driver that is based
  	  on the IP-VLAN network interface, called ipvtap. An ipvtap device
  	  can be added in the same way as a ipvlan device, using 'type
  	  ipvtap', and then be accessed through the tap user space interface.
  
  	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  	  will be called ipvtap.
  
  config VXLAN
         tristate "Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN)"
         depends on INET
         select NET_UDP_TUNNEL
         select GRO_CELLS
         ---help---
  	  This allows one to create vxlan virtual interfaces that provide
  	  Layer 2 Networks over Layer 3 Networks. VXLAN is often used
  	  to tunnel virtual network infrastructure in virtualized environments.
  	  For more information see:
  	    http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-02
  
  	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module

         depends on INET && NET_UDP_TUNNEL
         select NET_IP_TUNNEL
         select GRO_CELLS
         ---help---
  	  This allows one to create geneve virtual interfaces that provide
  	  Layer 2 Networks over Layer 3 Networks. GENEVE is often used
  	  to tunnel virtual network infrastructure in virtualized environments.
  	  For more information see:
  	    http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gross-geneve-02
  
  	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  	  will be called geneve.
  
  config GTP
  	tristate "GPRS Tunneling Protocol datapath (GTP-U)"
  	depends on INET && NET_UDP_TUNNEL
  	select NET_IP_TUNNEL
  	---help---
  	  This allows one to create gtp virtual interfaces that provide
  	  the GPRS Tunneling Protocol datapath (GTP-U). This tunneling protocol
  	  is used to prevent subscribers from accessing mobile carrier core
  	  network infrastructure. This driver requires a userspace software that
  	  implements the signaling protocol (GTP-C) to update its PDP context
  	  base, such as OpenGGSN <http://git.osmocom.org/openggsn/). This
  	  tunneling protocol is implemented according to the GSM TS 09.60 and
  	  3GPP TS 29.060 standards.
  
  	  To compile this drivers as a module, choose M here: the module
  	  wil be called gtp.
  
  config MACSEC
  	tristate "IEEE 802.1AE MAC-level encryption (MACsec)"
  	select CRYPTO
  	select CRYPTO_AES
  	select CRYPTO_GCM
  	select GRO_CELLS
  	---help---
  	   MACsec is an encryption standard for Ethernet.
  
  config NETCONSOLE
  	tristate "Network console logging support"
  	---help---
  	If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
  	See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
  
  config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC
  	bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets"
  	depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS && CONFIGFS_FS && \
  			!(NETCONSOLE=y && CONFIGFS_FS=m)
  	help
  	  This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
  	  parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
  	  at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
  	  See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.

  config TUN
  	tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
  	depends on INET
  	select CRC32
  	---help---
  	  TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
  	  programs.  It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
  	  device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
  	  receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
  	  via physical media writes them to the user space program.
  
  	  When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
  	  corresponding net device tunX or tapX.  After a program closed above
  	  devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
  	  all routes corresponding to it.
  
  	  Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
  	  information.
  
  	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  	  will be called tun.
  
  	  If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.
  
  config TAP
  	tristate
  	---help---
  	  This option is selected by any driver implementing tap user space
  	  interface for a virtual interface to re-use core tap functionality.
  
  config TUN_VNET_CROSS_LE
  	bool "Support for cross-endian vnet headers on little-endian kernels"
  	default n
  	---help---
  	  This option allows TUN/TAP and MACVTAP device drivers in a
  	  little-endian kernel to parse vnet headers that come from a
  	  big-endian legacy virtio device.
  
  	  Userspace programs can control the feature using the TUNSETVNETBE
  	  and TUNGETVNETBE ioctls.
  
  	  Unless you have a little-endian system hosting a big-endian virtual
  	  machine with a legacy virtio NIC, you should say N.
  
  config VETH
  	tristate "Virtual ethernet pair device"
  	---help---
  	  This device is a local ethernet tunnel. Devices are created in pairs.
  	  When one end receives the packet it appears on its pair and vice
  	  versa.
  
  config VIRTIO_NET
  	tristate "Virtio network driver"
  	depends on VIRTIO
  	---help---
  	  This is the virtual network driver for virtio.  It can be used with
  	  QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen).  Say Y or M.
  
  config NLMON
  	tristate "Virtual netlink monitoring device"
  	---help---
  	  This option enables a monitoring net device for netlink skbs. The
  	  purpose of this is to analyze netlink messages with packet sockets.
  	  Thus applications like tcpdump will be able to see local netlink
  	  messages if they tap into the netlink device, record pcaps for further
  	  diagnostics, etc. This is mostly intended for developers or support
  	  to debug netlink issues. If unsure, say N.
  
  config NET_VRF

  	  This option enables the support for mapping interfaces into VRF's. The
  	  support enables VRF devices.
  
  config VSOCKMON
      tristate "Virtual vsock monitoring device"
      depends on VHOST_VSOCK
      ---help---
       This option enables a monitoring net device for vsock sockets. It is

  	---help---
  	  This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
  	  NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
  	  cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
  	  TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
  	  downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
  	  provided by your regular phone modem.
  
  	  At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
  	  you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
  	  <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
  	  to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
  	  a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

  	  This driver provides support for Xen paravirtual network
  	  devices exported by a Xen network driver domain (often
  	  domain 0).

  	  should say Y here. To compile this driver as a module, chose

  	help
  	  This driver allows the kernel to act as a Xen network driver
  	  domain which exports paravirtual network devices to other
  	  Xen domains. These devices can be accessed by any operating
  	  system that implements a compatible front end.
  
  	  The corresponding Linux frontend driver is enabled by the
  	  CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND configuration option.
  
  	  The backend driver presents a standard network device
  	  endpoint for each paravirtual network device to the driver
  	  domain network stack. These can then be bridged or routed
  	  etc in order to provide full network connectivity.
  
  	  If you are compiling a kernel to run in a Xen network driver
  	  domain (often this is domain 0) you should say Y here. To
  	  compile this driver as a module, chose M here: the module
  	  will be called xen-netback.
