10 You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
11 any other computer at all.
12
13 You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
14 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
15 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
16 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
17 AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.
18
19 See also "The Linux Network Administrator's Guide" by Olaf Kirch and
20 Terry Dawson. Available at <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>.

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

38 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
39 will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
40 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
41 Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
42 'dummy1' etc.

49 Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
50 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
51 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
52
53 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
54 perfomance and high availability operation.

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

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

110 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
111 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
112 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
113 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
114 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
115 provided by your regular phone modem.
116
117 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
118 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
119 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
120 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
121 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

143 ---help---
144 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
145 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
146
147 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
148 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
149 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
150 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
151 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
152 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
153 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
154 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
155 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
156
157 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
158 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
159 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
160 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
161 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.

2274 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a

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

2310 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2311 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other

2313 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2314 days support PPP rather than SLIP.

2318 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2319 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2320 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.

2322 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2323 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2324 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2325 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2326 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to

2503 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2504 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2505 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2506 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2507 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.

2509config NET_FC
2510 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
2511 depends on NETDEVICES && SCSI && PCI
2512 help
2513 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2514 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2515 intended to replace SCSI.
2516
2517 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2518 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2519 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2520 "SCSI generic support".

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