Howto configure the Linux kernel / drivers / net / arm


Acorn Network device configuration
These are for Acorn's Expansion card network interfaces


  • Option: ARM_AM79C961A
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off) ARM EBSA110 AM79C961A support
    • depends on NET_ETHERNET && ARM && ARCH_EBSA110
    • select CRC32
      If you wish to compile a kernel for the EBSA-110, then you should always answer Y to this.


  • Option: ARM_ETHER1
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off/module) Acorn Ether1 support
    • depends on NET_ETHERNET && ARM && ARCH_ACORN
      If you have an Acorn system with one of these (AKA25) network cards, you should say Y to this option if you wish to use it with Linux.


  • Option: ARM_ETHER3
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off/module) Acorn/ANT Ether3 support
    • depends on NET_ETHERNET && ARM && ARCH_ACORN
      If you have an Acorn system with one of these network cards, you should say Y to this option if you wish to use it with Linux.


  • Option: ARM_ETHERH
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off/module) I-cubed EtherH/ANT EtherM support
    • depends on NET_ETHERNET && ARM && ARCH_ACORN
    • select CRC32
      If you have an Acorn system with one of these network cards, you should say Y to this option if you wish to use it with Linux.


  • Option: ARM_ETHER00
    • Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
    • (on/off/module) Altera Ether00 support
    • depends on NET_ETHERNET && ARM && ARCH_CAMELOT
      This is the driver for Altera's ether00 ethernet mac IP core. Say Y here if you want to build support for this into the kernel. It is also available as a module (say M here) that can be inserted/ removed from the kernel at the same time as the PLD is configured. If this driver is running on an epxa10 development board then it will generate a suitable hw address based on the board serial number (MTD support is required for this). Otherwise you will need to set a suitable hw address using ifconfig.
