11 You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
12 any other computer at all.

14 You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
15 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
16 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
17 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
18 AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.

43 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
44 will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
45 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.

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

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

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

120 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
121 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
122 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
123 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
124
125 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
126 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
127 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
128 all routes corresponding to it.

149 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
150 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
151 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
152 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
153 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
154 provided by your regular phone modem.
155
156 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
157 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
158 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
159 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
160 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

181 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
182 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
183
184 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
185 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
186 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
187 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
188 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
189 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
190 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
191 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
192 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
193
194 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
195 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
196 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
197 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
198 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.

2805 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a

2807 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2808 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2809 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2810 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2811 enabled for this to work.
2812
2813 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2814 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2815 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2816 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2817 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2818 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2819 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2820 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2821 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet

2840 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2841 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2842 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2843 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2844 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2845
2846 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2847 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2848 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2849 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2850 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2851
2852 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2853 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2854 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2855 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2856 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2857 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2858 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2859 synchronous PPP", below.
2860

2939 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2940 it is safe to say Y here.
2941
2942 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
