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:

74 tristate "Intel(R) PRO/1000 PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet support"
75 depends on PCI && (!SPARC32 || BROKEN)
79 This driver supports the PCI-Express Intel(R) PRO/1000 gigabit
80 ethernet family of adapters. For PCI or PCI-X e1000 adapters,
81 use the regular e1000 driver For more information on how to
82 identify your adapter, go to the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:

119 bool "Intel(R) PCI-Express Gigabit adapters HWMON support"
121 depends on IGB && HWMON && !(IGB=y && HWMON=m)
123 Say Y if you want to expose thermal sensor data on Intel devices.
125 Some of our devices contain thermal sensors, both external and internal.
126 This data is available via the hwmon sysfs interface and exposes
130 bool "Direct Cache Access (DCA) Support"
132 depends on IGB && DCA && !(IGB=y && DCA=m)
134 Say Y here if you want to use Direct Cache Access (DCA) in the
135 driver. DCA is a method for warming the CPU cache before data
136 is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses.
139 tristate "Intel(R) 82576 Virtual Function Ethernet support"
142 This driver supports Intel(R) 82576 virtual functions. For more
143 information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter &
