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

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.

2222 Say Y here if you have a Marvell Yukon or SysKonnect SK-98xx/SK-95xx
2223 compliant Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.
2224
2225 This driver supports the original Yukon chipset. This driver is
2226 deprecated and will be removed from the kernel in the near future,
2227 it has been replaced by the skge driver. skge is cleaner and
2228 seems to work better.
2229
2230 This driver does not support the newer Yukon2 chipset. A separate
2231 driver, sky2, is provided to support Yukon2-based adapters.

2822 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2823 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2824 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2825 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2826 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2827 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2828 enabled for this to work.
2829
2830 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2831 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2832 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2833 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2834 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2835 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2836 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2837 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2838 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2839 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)

2954 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2955 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2956 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2957 it is safe to say Y here.
2958
2959 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2960 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2961 and is patent-free.
2962
2963 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2964 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2965 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.

3018 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
3019 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
3020 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
3021 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
3022 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
3023 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
3024 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
3025 purpose.
3026
3027 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
3028 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
3029 around (available from
3030 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3031 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
3032 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
3033 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3034 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
3035 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
3036 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
3037 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
3038 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
3039 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
3040 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.

3050 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
3051 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
3052 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
3053 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3054 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from

3079 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3080 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3081 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3082 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3083 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3084 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3085 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
