---help---
If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y
and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
the questions about Intel cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for
your specific card in the following questions.

config E100
tristate "Intel(R) PRO/100+ support"
depends on PCI
select NET_CORE
select MII
---help---
This driver supports Intel(R) PRO/100 family of adapters.
To verify that your adapter is supported, find the board ID number
on the adapter. Look for a label that has a barcode and a number
in the format 123456-001 (six digits hyphen three digits).
Use the above information and the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
<http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>
to identify the adapter.
For the latest Intel PRO/100 network driver for Linux, see:
<http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/highlights/network/pro100plus>
More specific information on configuring the driver is in
<file:Documentation/networking/e100.txt>.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
will be called e100.

config IGB_DCA
bool "Direct Cache Access (DCA) Support"
default y
depends on IGB && DCA && !(IGB=y && DCA=m)
---help---
Say Y here if you want to use Direct Cache Access (DCA) in the
driver. DCA is a method for warming the CPU cache before data
is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses.
config IGB_PTP
bool "PTP Hardware Clock (PHC)"
default y
depends on IGB && PTP_1588_CLOCK
---help---
Say Y here if you want to use PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) in the
driver. Only the basic clock operations have been implemented.
Every timestamp and clock read operations must consult the
overflow counter to form a correct time value.
config IGBVF
