+config BRIDGE
+	tristate "802.1d Ethernet Bridging"
+	select LLC
+	select STP
+	---help---
+	  If you say Y here, then your Linux box will be able to act as an
+	  Ethernet bridge, which means that the different Ethernet segments it
+	  is connected to will appear as one Ethernet to the participants.
+	  Several such bridges can work together to create even larger
+	  networks of Ethernets using the IEEE 802.1 spanning tree algorithm.
+	  As this is a standard, Linux bridges will cooperate properly with
+	  other third party bridge products.
+
+	  In order to use the Ethernet bridge, you'll need the bridge
+	  configuration tools; see <file:Documentation/networking/bridge.txt>
+	  for location. Please read the Bridge mini-HOWTO for more
+	  information.
+
+	  If you enable iptables support along with the bridge support then you
+	  turn your bridge into a bridging IP firewall.
+	  iptables will then see the IP packets being bridged, so you need to
+	  take this into account when setting up your firewall rules.
+	  Enabling arptables support when bridging will let arptables see
+	  bridged ARP traffic in the arptables FORWARD chain.
+
+	  To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module
+	  will be called bridge.
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
+
+config BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING
+	bool "IGMP/MLD snooping"
+	depends on BRIDGE
+	depends on INET
+	default y
+	---help---
+	  If you say Y here, then the Ethernet bridge will be able selectively
+	  forward multicast traffic based on IGMP/MLD traffic received from
+	  each port.
+
+	  Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
+
+	  If unsure, say Y.
