config FUSION
tristate "Fusion MPT (base + ScsiHost) drivers"
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.
