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_VIA
bool "VIA devices"
default y
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 VIA devices. If you say Y, you will be asked for
your specific card in the following questions.
if NET_VENDOR_VIA
config VIA_RHINE
tristate "VIA Rhine support"
depends on PCI || (OF_IRQ && GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP)
depends on PCI || ARCH_VT8500 || COMPILE_TEST
depends on HAS_IOPORT
depends on HAS_DMA
select CRC32
select MII
help
If you have a VIA "Rhine" based network card (Rhine-I (VT86C100A),
Rhine-II (VT6102), or Rhine-III (VT6105)), say Y here. Rhine-type
Ethernet functions can also be found integrated on South Bridges
(e.g. VT8235).
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
will be called via-rhine.
config VIA_RHINE_MMIO
bool "Use MMIO instead of PIO"
depends on VIA_RHINE
help
This instructs the driver to use PCI shared memory (MMIO) instead of
programmed I/O ports (PIO). Enabling this gives an improvement in
processing time in parts of the driver.
If unsure, say Y.
config VIA_VELOCITY
tristate "VIA Velocity support"
depends on (PCI || (OF_ADDRESS && OF_IRQ))
depends on HAS_DMA
select CRC32
select CRC_CCITT
select MII
help
If you have a VIA "Velocity" based network card say Y here.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
will be called via-velocity.

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.
