14 If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y
15 and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
16 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
18 Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
19 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
20 the questions about Intel cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for
21 your specific card in the following questions.
26 tristate "Intel(R) PRO/100+ support"
31 This driver supports Intel(R) PRO/100 family of adapters.
32 To verify that your adapter is supported, find the board ID number
33 on the adapter. Look for a label that has a barcode and a number
34 in the format 123456-001 (six digits hyphen three digits).
36 Use the above information and the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
38 <http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>
40 to identify the adapter.
42 For the latest Intel PRO/100 network driver for Linux, see:

115 bool "Direct Cache Access (DCA) Support"
117 depends on IGB && DCA && !(IGB=y && DCA=m)
119 Say Y here if you want to use Direct Cache Access (DCA) in the
120 driver. DCA is a method for warming the CPU cache before data
121 is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses.
124 bool "PTP Hardware Clock (PHC)"
126 depends on IGB && EXPERIMENTAL
128 select PTP_1588_CLOCK
130 Say Y here if you want to use PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) in the
131 driver. Only the basic clock operations have been implemented.
133 Every timestamp and clock read operations must consult the
134 overflow counter to form a correct time value.
137 tristate "Intel(R) 82576 Virtual Function Ethernet support"
140 This driver supports Intel(R) 82576 virtual functions. For more

158 tristate "Intel(R) PRO/10GbE support"
161 This driver supports Intel(R) PRO/10GbE family of adapters for
162 PCI-X type cards. For PCI-E type cards, use the "ixgbe" driver
163 instead. For more information on how to identify your adapter, go
164 to the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:

218 depends on IXGBE && DCB
220 Say Y here if you want to use Data Center Bridging (DCB) in the
226 bool "PTP Clock Support"
228 depends on IXGBE && EXPERIMENTAL
230 select PTP_1588_CLOCK
232 Say Y here if you want support for 1588 Timestamping with a
