| 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. |

| 30 | This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to |
| 31 | this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP |
| 32 | address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently |
| 33 | inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs. |
| 34 | If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this |
| 35 | thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your |
| 36 | kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network |
| 37 | Administrator's Guide, available from |

| 40 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module |

| 53 | 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux. |
| 54 | |

| 68 | If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this |
| 69 | usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use |
| 70 | SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone |
| 71 | lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like |
| 72 | one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has |
| 73 | to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL |
| 74 | Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | Say Y if you want this and read |

| 90 | programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet |
| 91 | device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media, |
| 92 | receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets |
| 93 | via physical media writes them to the user space program. |
| 94 | |
| 95 | When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers |
| 96 | corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above |
| 97 | devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and |
| 98 | all routes corresponding to it. |

| 119 | At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if |
| 120 | you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read |
| 121 | <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how |
| 122 | to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing |

| 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 |

| 156 | [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit |
| 157 | Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links). |
| 158 | |
| 159 | If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have |

| 164 | |
| 165 | Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the |

| 2276 | PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a |
| 2277 | reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more) |
| 2278 | local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to |
| 2279 | install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a |
| 2280 | CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies |
| 2281 | first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option |
| 2282 | enabled for this to work. |
| 2283 | |
| 2284 | The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel |
| 2285 | ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected |
| 2286 | with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4 |
| 2287 | bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on |
| 2288 | bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a |
| 2289 | time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in |
| 2290 | <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to |
| 2291 | 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows |
| 2292 | and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet |
| 2293 | driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>) |
| 2294 | and winsock or NCSA's telnet. |

| 2299 | protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together |
| 2300 | with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges |

| 2312 | PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves |
| 2313 | the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other |
| 2314 | serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because |
| 2315 | otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these |
| 2316 | days support PPP rather than SLIP. |
| 2317 | |
| 2318 | To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described |
| 2319 | in the PPP-HOWTO, available at |
| 2320 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have |
| 2321 | the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>. |

| 2324 | There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for |
| 2325 | asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and |
| 2326 | synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for |
| 2327 | example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other |
| 2328 | asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to |

| 2516 | large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and |
| 2517 | intended to replace SCSI. |
| 2518 | |
| 2519 | If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel |
| 2520 | adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your |
| 2521 | adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and |
| 2522 | "SCSI generic support". |
| 2523 | |
| 2524 | config SHAPER |
| 2525 | tristate "Traffic Shaper (EXPERIMENTAL)" |
| 2526 | depends on NETDEVICES && EXPERIMENTAL |
| 2527 | ---help--- |
| 2528 | The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to |
| 2529 | limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device. |
| 2530 | The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through |
| 2531 | these virtual devices. See |
| 2532 | <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information. |
| 2533 | |
| 2534 | An alternative to this traffic shaper is the experimental |
| 2535 | Class-Based Queueing (CBQ) scheduling support which you get if you |
| 2536 | say Y to "QoS and/or fair queueing" above. |
| 2537 | |
| 2538 | To set up and configure shaper devices, you need the shapecfg |
| 2539 | program, available from <ftp://shadow.cabi.net/pub/Linux/> in the |
| 2540 | shaper package. |
| 2541 | |
| 2542 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module |
| 2543 | will be called shaper. If unsure, say N. |
| 2544 | |
| 2545 | config NETCONSOLE |
| 2546 | tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)" |
| 2547 | depends on NETDEVICES && EXPERIMENTAL |
| 2548 | ---help--- |
| 2549 | If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this. |
| 2550 | See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details. |
