12 You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
13 any other computer at all.
14
15 You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
16 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
17 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
18 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
19 AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.

33 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
34 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
35 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
36 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
37 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
38 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
39 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network

146 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
147 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
148
149 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
150 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
151 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
152 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
153 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
154 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
155 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
156 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
157 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07002330 ---help---
2331 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2332 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2333 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2334 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2335 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2336 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2337 enabled for this to work.
2338
2339 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2340 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2341 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2342 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2343 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2344 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2345 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2346 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2347 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2348 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2349 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2350
2351 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2352 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2353 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2354 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2355 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2356 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2357
2358 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read

2367 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other

2369 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2370 days support PPP rather than SLIP.

2378 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2379 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2380 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2381 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2382 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2383 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2384 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2385 synchronous PPP", below.
2386
2387 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2388 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2389 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2390 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
2391 The module will be called ppp_generic.

2396 help
2397 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2398 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2399 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2400
2401 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2402 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.

2411 PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
2412 activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
2413 a demand-dialled link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
2414 You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
2415 active-filter options to pppd.

2450 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2451 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2452 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2453 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
2454 they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.

2462 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2463 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2464 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2465 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2466 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2467 it is safe to say Y here.
2468
2469 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2470 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2471 and is patent-free.
2472
2473 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2474 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2475 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.

2499 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07002500 ---help---
2501 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2502 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2503 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2504 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2505 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2506 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2507 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2508 purpose.
2509
2510 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2511 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2512 around (available from
2513 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2514 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2515 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2516 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2517 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2518 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2519 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2520 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2521 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2522 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2523 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2524
2525 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2526 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2527 called slip.
2528
2529config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2530 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2531 depends on SLIP
2532 ---help---
2533 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2534 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2535 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2536 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2537 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2538 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2539 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2540 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2541 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2542 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2543

2552config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2553 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2554 depends on SLIP
2555 help
2556 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2557 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2558 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2559 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2560 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2561 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2562 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.

2569 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2570 intended to replace SCSI.
2571
2572 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2573 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07002580 ---help---
2581 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2582 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2583 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2584 these virtual devices. See
2585 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2586
2587 An alternative to this traffic shaper is the experimental
2588 Class-Based Queueing (CBQ) scheduling support which you get if you
2589 say Y to "QoS and/or fair queueing" above.
2590
2591 To set up and configure shaper devices, you need the shapecfg
2592 program, available from <ftp://shadow.cabi.net/pub/Linux/> in the
2593 shaper package.
