+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.
