367 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
368 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

Ian Campbellf942dc22011-03-15 00:06:18 +0000403 This driver provides support for Xen paravirtual network
404 devices exported by a Xen network driver domain (often
405 domain 0).
406
407 The corresponding Linux backend driver is enabled by the
408 CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_BACKEND option.
409
410 If you are compiling a kernel for use as Xen guest, you
411 should say Y here. To compile this driver as a module, chose
412 M here: the module will be called xen-netfront.

417 help
418 This driver allows the kernel to act as a Xen network driver
419 domain which exports paravirtual network devices to other
420 Xen domains. These devices can be accessed by any operating
421 system that implements a compatible front end.
422
423 The corresponding Linux frontend driver is enabled by the
424 CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND configuration option.
425
426 The backend driver presents a standard network device
427 endpoint for each paravirtual network device to the driver
428 domain network stack. These can then be bridged or routed
429 etc in order to provide full network connectivity.
430
431 If you are compiling a kernel to run in a Xen network driver
432 domain (often this is domain 0) you should say Y here. To
433 compile this driver as a module, chose M here: the module
434 will be called xen-netback.
