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. | |

32 | This is an intermidiate driver that allows sharing of | |
33 | resources. | |
34 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module | |
35 | will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb | |
36 | device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module. | |
37 | Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0', | |
38 | 'ifb1' etc. | |

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

54 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module | |

79 | ---help--- |
80 | If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this | |
81 | usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use | |
82 | SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone | |
83 | lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like | |
84 | one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has | |
85 | to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL | |
86 | Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e. | |

100 | TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space | |
101 | programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet | |
102 | device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media, | |
103 | receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets | |
104 | via physical media writes them to the user space program. | |
105 | ||
106 | When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers | |
107 | corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above | |
108 | devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and | |
109 | all routes corresponding to it. | |

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

157 | Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common | |
158 | type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies. | |
159 | ||
160 | Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over | |
161 | coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted | |

167 | [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit | |
168 | Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links). | |
169 | ||
170 | If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have | |

174 | to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC. | |
175 | ||
176 | Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the | |

1da177e4 LT |
2466 | ---help--- |
2467 | PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a | |
2468 | reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more) | |
2469 | local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to | |
2470 | install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a | |
2471 | CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies | |
2472 | first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option | |
2473 | enabled for this to work. | |
2474 | ||
2475 | The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel | |
2476 | ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected | |
2477 | with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4 | |
2478 | bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on | |
2479 | bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a | |
2480 | time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in | |
2481 | <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to | |
2482 | 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows | |
2483 | and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet | |
2484 | driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>) | |
2485 | and winsock or NCSA's telnet. | |
2486 | ||
2487 | If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well | |
2488 | as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from | |
2489 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP | |
2490 | protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together | |
2491 | with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges | |
2492 | your kernel by about 8 KB. | |
2493 | ||
2494 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read | |
2495 | <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be | |

2499 | config PPP | |
2500 | tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support" | |
1da177e4 LT |
2501 | ---help--- |
2502 | PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves | |
2503 | the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other | |
2504 | serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because | |
2505 | otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these | |
2506 | days support PPP rather than SLIP. | |
2507 | ||
2508 | To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described | |
2509 | in the PPP-HOWTO, available at | |
2510 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have | |
2511 | the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>. | |
2512 | The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB. | |
2513 | ||
2514 | There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for | |
2515 | asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and | |
2516 | synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for | |
2517 | example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other | |
2518 | asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to | |
2519 | the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over | |
2520 | synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support | |
2521 | synchronous PPP", below. | |
2522 | ||
2523 | If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then | |

2533 | PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you | |
2534 | to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP | |
2535 | connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth. | |
2536 | ||
2537 | This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a | |
2538 | version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol. | |

2653 | Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line | |
2654 | Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over | |
2655 | serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables; | |
2656 | nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same | |
2657 | purpose. | |

2659 | Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you | |

2661 | around (available from | |
2662 | <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which | |
2663 | allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If | |

2665 | NET-3-HOWTO, available from | |

2709 | the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other | |
