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. | |
