+	tristate "High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR)"
+	---help---
+	  If you say Y here, then your Linux box will be able to act as a
+	  DANH ("Doubly attached node implementing HSR"). For this to work,
+	  your Linux box needs (at least) two physical Ethernet interfaces,
+	  and it must be connected as a node in a ring network together with
+	  other HSR capable nodes.
+
+	  All Ethernet frames sent over the hsr device will be sent in both
+	  directions on the ring (over both slave ports), giving a redundant,
+	  instant fail-over network. Each HSR node in the ring acts like a
+	  bridge for HSR frames, but filters frames that have been forwarded
+	  earlier.
+
+	  This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as
+	  described in IEC 62439-3:2010 (HSRv0) and IEC 62439-3:2012 (HSRv1),
+	  but no compliancy tests have been made. Use iproute2 to select
+	  the version you desire.
+
+	  You need to perform any and all necessary tests yourself before
+	  relying on this code in a safety critical system!
+
+	  If unsure, say N.
