| You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to |

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

| ---help--- |
| This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to |
| this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP |
| address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently |
| inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs. |
| If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this |
| thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your |
| kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network |
| Administrator's Guide, available from |
| <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>. |

| device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media, |
| receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets |
| via physical media writes them to the user space program. |
| |
| When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers |
| corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above |
| devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and |

| Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common |

| pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central |

| 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair |
| cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links) |
| [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit |
| Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links). |

| CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies |
| first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option |
| enabled for this to work. |
| |
| The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel |
| ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected |
| with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4 |
| bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on |
| bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a |
| time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in |
| <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to |
| 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows |
| and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet |
| driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>) |
| and winsock or NCSA's telnet. |

| serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because |
| otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these |
| days support PPP rather than SLIP. |
| |
| To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described |
| in the PPP-HOWTO, available at |

| the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>. |
| The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB. |
| |
| There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for |
| asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and |

| serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables; |
| nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same |
| purpose. |
| |
| Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you |
| to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP |
| around (available from |
| <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which |
| allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If |
| you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The |
| NET-3-HOWTO, available from |
| <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to |
| configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just |
| want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full |
| Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on |
| some Internet connected Unix computer. Read |
| <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP |
| support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N. |
| |
| To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read |
| <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be |
| called slip. |
| |
| config SLIP_COMPRESSED |
| bool "CSLIP compressed headers" |
| depends on SLIP |
| ---help--- |
| This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the |
| TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported |
| on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and |
| answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If |
| you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from |
| <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which |
| allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you |
| definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from |
| <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure |
| CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel. |
| |
| config SLIP_SMART |
| bool "Keepalive and linefill" |
| depends on SLIP |
| help |
| Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the |
| RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality |
| analogue lines. |
| |
| config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6 |
| bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation" |
| depends on SLIP |
| help |
| Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial |
| networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven |
| bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP: |
| "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over |
| the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other |
| end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP |
| over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N. |
| |
| config NET_FC |
| bool "Fibre Channel driver support" |
| depends on NETDEVICES && SCSI && PCI |
| help |
| Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect |
| large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and |
| intended to replace SCSI. |
| |
| If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel |
| adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your |
| adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and |
| "SCSI generic support". |
| |
| config SHAPER |
| tristate "Traffic Shaper (EXPERIMENTAL)" |
| depends on NETDEVICES && EXPERIMENTAL |
| ---help--- |
| The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to |
| limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device. |
| The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through |
| these virtual devices. See |
| <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information. |
| |
| An alternative to this traffic shaper is the experimental |
| Class-Based Queueing (CBQ) scheduling support which you get if you |
| say Y to "QoS and/or fair queueing" above. |
| |
| To set up and configure shaper devices, you need the shapecfg |
| program, available from <ftp://shadow.cabi.net/pub/Linux/> in the |
| shaper package. |
| |
| To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module |
| will be called shaper. If unsure, say N. |
| |
| config NETCONSOLE |
| tristate "Network console logging support (EXPERIMENTAL)" |
| depends on NETDEVICES && EXPERIMENTAL |
| ---help--- |
| If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this. |
| See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details. |
