3 tristate "Serial port KISS driver"
7 KISS is a protocol used for the exchange of data between a computer
8 and a Terminal Node Controller (a small embedded system commonly
9 used for networking over AX.25 amateur radio connections; it
10 connects the computer's serial port with the radio's microphone
11 input and speaker output).
13 Although KISS is less advanced than the 6pack protocol, it has
14 the advantage that it is already supported by most modern TNCs
15 without the need for a firmware upgrade.

21 tristate "Serial port 6PACK driver"
22 depends on AX25 && TTY
24 6pack is a transmission protocol for the data exchange between your
25 PC and your TNC (the Terminal Node Controller acts as a kind of
26 modem connecting your computer's serial port to your radio's
27 microphone input and speaker output). This protocol can be used as
28 an alternative to KISS for networking over AX.25 amateur radio
29 connections, but it has some extended functionality.
31 Note that this driver is still experimental and might cause
32 problems. For details about the features and the usage of the
33 driver, read <file:Documentation/networking/6pack.rst>.

39 tristate "BPQ Ethernet driver"
42 AX.25 is the protocol used for computer communication over amateur
43 radio. If you say Y here, you will be able to send and receive AX.25
44 traffic over Ethernet (also called "BPQ AX.25"), which could be
45 useful if some other computer on your local network has a direct
46 amateur radio connection.
49 tristate "High-speed (DMA) SCC driver for AX.25"
50 depends on ISA && AX25 && BROKEN_ON_SMP && ISA_DMA_API
51 depends on VIRT_TO_BUS
53 This is a driver for high-speed SCC boards, i.e. those supporting
54 DMA on one port. You usually use those boards to connect your
55 computer to an amateur radio modem (such as the WA4DSY 56kbps
56 modem), in order to send and receive AX.25 packet radio network
59 Currently, this driver supports Ottawa PI/PI2, Paccomm/Gracilis
60 PackeTwin, and S5SCC/DMA boards. They are detected automatically.
61 If you have one of these cards, say Y here and read the AX25-HOWTO,
62 available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
64 This driver can operate multiple boards simultaneously. If you
65 compile it as a module (by saying M instead of Y), it will be called
66 dmascc. If you don't pass any parameter to the driver, all
67 possible I/O addresses are probed. This could irritate other devices
68 that are currently not in use. You may specify the list of addresses
69 to be probed by "dmascc.io=addr1,addr2,..." (when compiled into the
70 kernel image) or "io=addr1,addr2,..." (when loaded as a module). The
71 network interfaces will be called dmascc0 and dmascc1 for the board
72 detected first, dmascc2 and dmascc3 for the second one, and so on.
74 Before you configure each interface with ifconfig, you MUST set
75 certain parameters, such as channel access timing, clock mode, and
76 DMA channel. This is accomplished with a small utility program,
77 dmascc_cfg, available at
78 <http://www.linux-ax25.org/wiki/Ax25-tools>. Please be sure to
79 get at least version 1.27 of dmascc_cfg, as older versions will not
80 work with the current driver.
83 tristate "Z8530 SCC driver"
84 depends on ISA && AX25 && ISA_DMA_API
86 These cards are used to connect your Linux box to an amateur radio
87 in order to communicate with other computers. If you want to use
89 <file:Documentation/networking/device_drivers/hamradio/z8530drv.rst>
90 and the AX25-HOWTO, available from
91 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Also make sure to say Y
92 to "Amateur Radio AX.25 Level 2" support.

98 bool "additional delay for PA0HZP OptoSCC compatible boards"
101 Say Y here if you experience problems with the SCC driver not
102 working properly; please read
103 <file:Documentation/networking/device_drivers/hamradio/z8530drv.rst>
109 bool "support for TRX that feedback the tx signal to rx"
112 Some transmitters feed the transmitted signal back to the receive
113 line. Say Y here to foil this by explicitly disabling the receiver
114 during data transmission.
118 config BAYCOM_SER_FDX
119 tristate "BAYCOM ser12 fullduplex driver for AX.25"
120 depends on AX25 && !S390
123 This is one of two drivers for Baycom style simple amateur radio
124 modems that connect to a serial interface. The driver supports the
125 ser12 design in full-duplex mode. In addition, it allows the
126 baudrate to be set between 300 and 4800 baud (however not all modems
127 support all baudrates). This is the preferred driver. The next
128 driver, "BAYCOM ser12 half-duplex driver for AX.25" is the old
129 driver and still provided in case this driver does not work with
130 your serial interface chip. To configure the driver, use the sethdlc
131 utility available in the standard ax25 utilities package. For
132 information on the modems, see <http://www.baycom.de/> and
133 <file:Documentation/networking/device_drivers/hamradio/baycom.rst>.
135 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
136 will be called baycom_ser_fdx. This is recommended.

143 This is one of two drivers for Baycom style simple amateur radio
144 modems that connect to a serial interface. The driver supports the
145 ser12 design in half-duplex mode. This is the old driver. It is

147 the full-duplex driver. This driver is deprecated. To configure
148 the driver, use the sethdlc utility available in the standard ax25
149 utilities package. For information on the modems, see

163 par96 designs. To configure the driver, use the sethdlc utility
164 available in the standard ax25 utilities package. For information on
165 the modems, see <http://www.baycom.de/> and the file
