# Agere device configuration

config NET_VENDOR_AGERE
	bool "Agere devices"
	default y
	depends on PCI
	---help---
	  If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y
	  and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

	  Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
	  kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
	  the questions about Agere devices. If you say Y, you will be asked
	  for your specific card in the following questions.

if NET_VENDOR_AGERE

config ET131X
	tristate "Agere ET-1310 Gigabit Ethernet support"
	depends on PCI
	select PHYLIB
	---help---
	  This driver supports Agere ET-1310 ethernet adapters.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
	  will be called et131x.

endif # NET_VENDOR_AGERE



$ grep NET_VENDOR_AGERE /boot/config-3.18.7-200.fc21.x86_64 
# CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_AGERE is not set


Ask Josh to:

CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_AGERE=y
CONFIG_ET131X=m
