If you want them 11 to work, choose Y. 12 13 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will 14 be called af_packet. 15 16 If unsure, say Y. 17 18config PACKET_MMAP 19 bool "Packet socket: mmapped IO" 20 depends on PACKET 21 help 22 If you say Y here, the Packet protocol driver will use an IO 23 mechanism that results in faster communication. 24 25 If unsure, say N. 26 27
