Why This File Exists
Repeatable hardware-adapter layer. Deep compatibility for every driver is out of scope; this atlas records patterns, probe lifecycles, bus glue, IRQ/DMA usage, and links back to core abstractions.

config NET_VENDOR_APPLE
bool "Apple devices"
default y
depends on (PPC_PMAC && PPC32) || MAC
help
If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, say Y.
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 Apple devices. If you say Y, you will be asked for
your specific card in the following questions.
if NET_VENDOR_APPLE
config MACE
tristate "MACE (Power Mac ethernet) support"
depends on PPC_PMAC && PPC32
select CRC32
help
Power Macintoshes and clones with Ethernet built-in on the
motherboard will usually use a MACE (Medium Access Control for
Ethernet) interface. Say Y to include support for the MACE chip.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called mace.
config MACE_AAUI_PORT
bool "Use AAUI port instead of TP by default"
depends on MACE
help
Some Apple machines (notably the Apple Network Server) which use the
MACE ethernet chip have an Apple AUI port (small 15-pin connector),
instead of an 8-pin RJ45 connector for twisted-pair ethernet. Say
Y here if you have such a machine. If unsure, say N.
The driver will default to AAUI on ANS anyway, and if you use it as
a module, you can provide the port_aaui=0|1 to force the driver.
config BMAC
tristate "BMAC (G3 ethernet) support"
depends on PPC_PMAC && PPC32
select CRC32
help
Say Y for support of BMAC Ethernet interfaces. These are used on G3
computers.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called bmac.
config MACMACE
tristate "Macintosh (AV) onboard MACE ethernet"
depends on MAC
select CRC32
help
Support for the onboard AMD 79C940 MACE Ethernet controller used in
the 660AV and 840AV Macintosh. If you have one of these Macintoshes
say Y here.

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Driver Families / drivers/net.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
