14 any other computer at all.

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.

35 This is an intermediate driver that allows sharing of
36 resources.
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',

46 ---help---
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

69 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
70 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
71

112 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
113 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
114 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
115 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
116 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
117 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
118

132 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
133 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
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
139 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
140 all routes corresponding to it.

160 ---help---
161 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
162 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
163 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
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.
167
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
172 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be
173 found at:

201 ---help---
202 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
203 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
204
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),
209 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
210 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
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).
214
215 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
216 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
217 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
218 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
219 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
220
221 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
222 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
223 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.

2392 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2393 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2394 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2395 enabled for this to work.
2396
2397 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2398 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2399 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2400 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2401 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2402 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2403 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2404 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2405 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet

2424 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2425 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2426 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2427 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2428 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2429
2430 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2431 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2432 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2433 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2434 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2435
2436 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2437 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2438 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2439 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2440 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2441 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2442 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
