| config PACKET | |
| tristate "Packet socket" | |
| ---help--- | |
| The Packet protocol is used by applications which communicate | |
| directly with network devices without an intermediate network | |
| protocol implemented in the kernel, e.g. tcpdump. If you want them | |
| to work, choose Y. | |
| To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will | |
| be called af_packet. | |
| If unsure, say Y. | |
| config PACKET_MMAP | |
| bool "Packet socket: mmapped IO" | |
| depends on PACKET | |
| help | |
| If you say Y here, the Packet protocol driver will use an IO | |
| mechanism that results in faster communication. | |
| If unsure, say N. | |
