+ Support for carrying raw ethernet frames over L2TPv3.
+
+ From RFC 4719 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4719.txt>.
+
+ The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol, Version 3 (L2TPv3) can be
+ used as a control protocol and for data encapsulation to set
+ up Pseudowires for transporting layer 2 Packet Data Units
+ across an IP network [RFC3931].
+
+ This driver provides an ethernet virtual interface for each
+ L2TP ethernet pseudowire instance. Standard Linux tools may
+ be used to assign an IP address to the local virtual
+ interface, or add the interface to a bridge.
+
+ If you are using L2TPv3, you will almost certainly want to
+ enable this option.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
+ will be called l2tp_eth.
