While ARCnet is still used in industrial environments, and cards are still manufactured, it is unlikely anyone is still using it with ISA and PCMCIA cards. Reduce future maintenance burden by removing all ISA and PCMCIA ARCnet drivers and documentation related to them. Update instructions for loading modules and passing parameters to work on modern kernels and with the com20020_pci driver. Also take the opportunity to document the rest of the module parameters, correct a file path in Documentation/networking/arcnet.rst, and change a reference to /etc/rc.inet1, which no longer exists, to refer to ifconfig.

help
|
|
If you have a network card of this type, say Y and check out the
|
|
(arguably) beautiful poetry in
|
|
<file:Documentation/networking/arcnet.rst>.
|
|
|
|
You need both this driver, and the driver for the particular ARCnet
|
|
chipset of your card.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
|
|
be called arcnet.

|
help
|
|
This allows you to use RFC1201 with your ARCnet card via the virtual
|
|
arc0 device. You need to say Y here to communicate with
|
|
industry-standard RFC1201 implementations, like the arcether.com
|
|
packet driver or most DOS/Windows ODI drivers. Please read the
|
|
ARCnet documentation in <file:Documentation/networking/arcnet.rst>
|

for more information about using arc0.

|
|
help
|
|
This allows you to use RFC1051 with your ARCnet card via the virtual
|
|
arc0s device. You only need arc0s if you want to talk to ARCnet
|
|
software complying with the "old" standard, specifically, the DOS
|
|
arcnet.com packet driver, Amigas running AmiTCP, and some variants
|
|
of NetBSD. You do not need to say Y here to communicate with
|
|
industry-standard RFC1201 implementations, like the arcether.com
|
|
packet driver or most DOS/Windows ODI drivers. RFC1201 is included
|
|
automatically as the arc0 device. Please read the ARCnet
|
|
documentation in <file:Documentation/networking/arcnet.rst> for more
|
|
information about using arc0e and arc0s.

help
|
|
ARCnet "raw mode" packet encapsulation, no soft headers. Unlikely
|
|
to work unless talking to a copy of the same Linux arcnet driver,
|
|
but perhaps marginally faster in that case.

help
|
|
ARCnet "cap mode" packet encapsulation. Used to get the hardware
|
|
acknowledge back to userspace. After the initial protocol byte every
|
|
packet is stuffed with an extra 4 byte "cookie" which doesn't
|
|
actually appear on the network. After transmit the driver will send
|
|
back a packet with protocol byte 0 containing the status of the
|
|
transmission:
|
|
0=no hardware acknowledge
|
|
1=excessive nak
|
|
2=transmission accepted by the receiver hardware
|
|
|
|
Received packets are also stuffed with the extra 4 bytes but it will
|
|
be random data.
|
|
|
|
Cap only listens to protocol 1-8.

This is the driver for the new COM20020 chipset. It supports such

things as promiscuous mode, so packet sniffing is possible, and

extra diagnostic information.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will
