-          This option turns on the netlink interface
-          (dcbnl) for Data Center Bridging capable devices.
+          This enables support for configuring Data Center Bridging (DCB)
+          features on DCB capable Ethernet adapters via rtnetlink.  Say 'Y'
+          if you have a DCB capable Ethernet adapter which supports this
+          interface and you are connected to a DCB capable switch.
+
+          DCB is a collection of Ethernet enhancements which allow DCB capable
+          NICs and switches to support network traffic with differing
+          requirements (highly reliable, no drops vs. best effort vs. low
+          latency) to co-exist on Ethernet.
+
+          DCB features include:
+            Enhanced Transmission Selection (aka Priority Grouping) - provides a
+              framework for assigning bandwidth guarantees to traffic classes.
+            Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) - a MAC control pause frame which
+              works at the granularity of the 802.1p priority instead of the
+              link (802.3x).
 
           If unsure, say N.
