17 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over

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.

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

134 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
135 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
136
137 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
138 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above

164 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
165 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
166 provided by your regular phone modem.

168 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
169 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
170 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
171 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing

205 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
206 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
207 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
208 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),

211 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
212 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
213 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).

1252 ---help---
1253 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
1254 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
1255 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
1256 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
1257 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
1258 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
1259 enabled for this to work.
1260
1261 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
1262 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
1263 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
1264 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
1265 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
1266 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
1267 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
1268 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
1269 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
1270 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)

1276 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
1277 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
1278 your kernel by about 8 KB.

1284 config PPP
1285 tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"

1287 ---help---
1288 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
1289 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
1290 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
1291 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
1292 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
1293
1294 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
1295 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
1296 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
1297 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
1298 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
1299
1300 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
1301 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
1302 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
1303 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
1304 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
1305 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
1306 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
1307 synchronous PPP", below.
1308
1309 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
1310 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
1311 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M

1321
1322 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a

1387 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
1388 it is safe to say Y here.
1389
1390 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
1391 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
1392 and is patent-free.

1461 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
1462 purpose.
