11 bool "Network device support"
12 ---help---
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.
21
22 See also "The Linux Network Administrator's Guide" by Olaf Kirch and
23 Terry Dawson. Available at <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>.
24
25 If unsure, say Y.

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

134 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
135 via physical media writes them to the user space program.

138 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above

161 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as

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.

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

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.

1703 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a

1705 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option

1707
1708 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
1709 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected

1711 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
1712 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
1713 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
1714 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
1715 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
1716 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet

1877 This driver requires pppd plugin to work in client mode or
1878 modified pptpd (poptop) to work in server mode.
1879 See http://accel-pptp.sourceforge.net/ for information how to
1880 utilize this module.

1886 Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
1887 This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
1888 which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
1889 changes its encapsulation unilaterally.

1895 Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol
1896 used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP
1897 tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses.

1901 ---help---
1902 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
1903 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
1904 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
1905 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
1906 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
1907 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
1908 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
1909 purpose.
1910
1911 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
1912 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
1913 around (available from
1914 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
1915 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
1916 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
1917 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
1918 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
1919 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
1920 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
1921 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
1922 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
1923 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
1924 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.

LT
1933 ---help---
1934 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
1935 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
1936 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
1937 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
1938 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
1939 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
1940 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
1941 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
1942 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
1943 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.

1959config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6

1961 depends on SLIP
1962 help
1963 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
1964 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
1965 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
1966 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
1967 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
1968 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
1969 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.

1975 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
1976 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
1977 intended to replace SCSI.
1978
1979 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
1980 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
1981 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
1982 "SCSI generic support".
