一、配置菜單
Device Drivers
[*] Network device support --->
網絡設備驅動、網卡驅動
< > Bonding driver support
功能：多網卡綁定
具體操作為：將多個以太網通道綁定為一個,也就是兩塊網卡具有相同的IP地址並且聚合成一個邏輯鏈路工作,可以用來實現負載均衡或硬件冗余
< > Dummy net driver support
功能：啞接口網絡
使用環境：使用SLIP或PPP傳輸協議(如ADSL用戶)的需要它
具體操作：設置一個虛擬網絡。虛擬網絡(dummy network)就像網絡中的/dev/null。任何發送給虛擬網絡的數據都會永久消失，因為它會發往/dev/null。IP地址沒有設置。用戶可以定義他們的網絡相當於/dev/null）
< > EQL (serial line load balancing) support
功能：串行線路的負載均衡
具體操作：如果有兩個MODEM和兩條電話線而且用SLIP或PPP協議,該選項可以讓您同時使用這兩個MODEM以達到雙倍速度(在網絡的另一端也要有同樣的設備)
< > Generic Media Independent Interface device support
功能：通用媒體獨立接口設備支持
背景介紹：MII是一種用於最高速度為100Mbit/s以太網的接口。以太網線纜用於連接到PHY ceiver，是一種以太網收發器
< > Ethernet team driver support (EXPERIMENTAL) --->
功能：team網卡組支持
背景介紹：通過虛擬接口組織許多以太網設備
< > MAC-VLAN support (EXPERIMENTAL)
功能：允許用戶在特定的MAC地址和某個接口上映射數據包
具體操作：基於MAC地址的VLAN，一種根據報文的源MAC地址來確定untagged報文所屬VLAN的划分方法
< > Network console logging support
網絡遠程命令支持，遠程登錄用
注意：內核發送給網絡的消息可任意通過這個特性記錄下來。除非記錄網絡信息對你很重要時才啟用它。禁用這個特性會增強性能。
< > Universal TUN/TAP device driver support
TUN/TAP可以為用戶空間提供包的接收和發送服務,比如可以用來虛擬一張網卡或點對點通道
使用環境：如果用戶空間程序希望使用TAP設備
< > Virtual ethernet pair device
本地以太網隧道

5端口10/100M以太網交換機芯片KS8995MA
< > PPP (point-to-point protocol) support
點對點協議,PPP已經基本取代SLIP了,ADSL撥號上網方式
< > SLIP (serial line) support
一個在串行線上(例如電話線)傳輸IP數據報的TCP/IP協議.
驅動支持SLIP和CSLIP。SLIP(Serial Line Internet Protocol)是一種用於調制解調器和串口的因特網驅動。PPP現在用來代替SLIP。CSLIP是壓縮的SLIP。

This selects the hieth gmac family network device. The gigabit
switch fabric (GSF) receives and transmits data over two Ethernet
ports at 10/100/1000 Mbit/s in full-duplex or half-duplex mode.
The Ethernet port exchanges data with the CPU port, and supports
the energy efficient Ethernet (EEE) and wake on LAN (WoL) functions.
