13 You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
14 any other computer at all.
15
16 You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
17 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
18 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
19 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
20 AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.

37 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
38 will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
39 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
40 Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',

47 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
48 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
49 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
50 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
51 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
52 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
53 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
54 Administrator's Guide, available from

68 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
69 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
70
71 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high

84 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
85 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
86 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
87 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
88 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
89 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
90
91 Say Y if you want this and read

105 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
106 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
107 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
108
109 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
110 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
111 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
112 all routes corresponding to it.

126 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
127 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
128 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
129 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
130 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
131 provided by your regular phone modem.
132
133 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
134 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
135 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
136 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
137 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

160 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
161 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
162
163 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
164 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
165 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
166 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
167 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
168 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
169 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
170 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
171 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
172
173 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
174 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
175 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
176 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
177 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.

2416 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a

2418 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2419 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2420 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2421 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2422 enabled for this to work.
2423
2424 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2425 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2426 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2427 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2428 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2429 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2430 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2431 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2432 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2433 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)

2439 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2440 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2441 your kernel by about 8 KB.

2451 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2452 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2453 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2454 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2455 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2456
2457 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2458 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2459 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2460 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2461 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2462
2463 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2464 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2465 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2466 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2467 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2468 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2469 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2470 synchronous PPP", below.
2471
2472 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then

2587 config PPPOATM
2588 tristate "PPP over ATM"
2589 depends on ATM && PPP
2590 help
2591 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
2592 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
2593 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
2594 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.
2595
2596 config SLIP
2597 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
2598 ---help---
2599 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2600 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2601 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2602 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2603 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2604 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2605 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2606 purpose.
2607
2608 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2609 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2610 around (available from
2611 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2612 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2613 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2614 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2615 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2616 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2617 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2618 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2619 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2620 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2621 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2622
2623 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2624 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2625 called slip.
2626
2627 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2628 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2629 depends on SLIP
2630 ---help---
2631 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2632 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2633 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2634 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2635 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2636 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2637 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2638 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2639 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2640 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2641
2642 config SLIP_SMART
2643 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
2644 depends on SLIP
2645 help
2646 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2647 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2648 analogue lines.
2649
2650 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2651 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2652 depends on SLIP
2653 help
2654 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2655 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2656 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2657 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2658 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2659 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2660 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
2661
2662 config NET_FC
2663 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2664 depends on SCSI && PCI
2665 help
2666 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2667 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2668 intended to replace SCSI.
2669
2670 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2671 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2672 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2673 "SCSI generic support".
2674
2675 config SHAPER
2676 tristate "Traffic Shaper (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2677 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2678 ---help---
2679 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2680 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2681 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2682 these virtual devices. See
2683 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2684
2685 An alternative to this traffic shaper is the experimental
2686 Class-Based Queueing (CBQ) scheduling support which you get if you
2687 say Y to "QoS and/or fair queueing" above.
2688
2689 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
2690 will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
2691
2692 config NETCONSOLE
2693 tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2694 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
2695 ---help---
2696 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2697 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
