| 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. |
