| depends on PCI && SCSI |
| ---help--- |
| LSI Logic Fusion(TM) Message Passing Technology (MPT) device support |
| provides high performance SCSI host initiator, and LAN [1] interface |
| services to a host system. The Fusion architecture is capable of |
| duplexing these protocols on high-speed Fibre Channel |
| (up to 2 GHz x 2 ports = 4 GHz) and parallel SCSI (up to Ultra-320) |
| physical medium. |
| |
| [1] LAN is not supported on parallel SCSI medium. |

| config FUSION_MAX_SGE |
| int "Maximum number of scatter gather entries" |
| depends on FUSION |
| default "40" |
| help |
| This option allows you to specify the maximum number of scatter- |
| gather entries per I/O. The driver defaults to 40, a reasonable number |
| for most systems. However, the user may increase this up to 128. |
| Increasing this parameter will require significantly more memory |
| on a per controller instance. Increasing the parameter is not |
| necessary (or recommended) unless the user will be running |
| large I/O's via the raw interface. |

| config FUSION_CTL |
| tristate "Fusion MPT misc device (ioctl) driver" |
| depends on FUSION |
| ---help--- |
| The Fusion MPT misc device driver provides specialized control |
| of MPT adapters via system ioctl calls. Use of ioctl calls to |
| the MPT driver requires that you create and use a misc device |
| node ala: |
| mknod /dev/mptctl c 10 240 |
| |
| One use of this ioctl interface is to perform an upgrade (reflash) |
| of the MPT adapter firmware. Refer to readme file(s) distributed |
| with the Fusion MPT linux driver for additional details. |
| |
| If enabled by saying M to this, a driver named: mptctl |
| will be compiled. |
| |
| If unsure whether you really want or need this, say N. |
| |
| config FUSION_LAN |
| tristate "Fusion MPT LAN driver" |
| depends on FUSION && NET_FC |
| ---help--- |
| This module supports LAN IP traffic over Fibre Channel port(s) |
| on Fusion MPT compatible hardware (LSIFC9xx chips). |
| The physical interface used is defined in RFC 2625. |
| Please refer to that document for details. |
| |
| Installing this driver requires the knowledge to configure and |
| activate a new network interface, "fc0", using standard Linux tools. |
| |
| If enabled by saying M to this, a driver named: mptlan |
| will be compiled. |
| |
| If unsure whether you really want or need this, say N. |
