							|  |  |  | 	  ATM is a high-speed networking technology for Local Area Networks | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  and Wide Area Networks.  It uses a fixed packet size and is | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  connection oriented, allowing for the negotiation of minimum | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  bandwidth requirements. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  In order to participate in an ATM network, your Linux box needs an | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  ATM networking card. If you have that, say Y here and to the driver | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  of your ATM card below. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  Note that you need a set of user-space programs to actually make use | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 	  of ATM.  See the file <file:Documentation/networking/atm.txt> for |
