CONFIG_INTEL_RNG: Intel i8x0 Random Number Generator support

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_INTEL_RNG:

• prompt: Intel i8x0 Random Number Generator support
• type: tristate
• depends on: ( CONFIG_X86 || CONFIG_IA64 ) && CONFIG_PCI
• defined in drivers/char/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.5.45–2.5.64
• modules built: i810_rng

Help text

This driver provides kernel-side support for the Random Number Generator hardware found on Intel i8xx-based motherboards.

Both a character driver, used to read() entropy data, and a timer function which automatically adds entropy directly into the kernel pool, are exported by this driver.

To compile this driver as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt. The module will be called i810_rng.

If unsure, say N.
