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.

173 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
174 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
175
176 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
177 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
178 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
179 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
180 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
181 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
182 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
183 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
184 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
185

187 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
188 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from

2629 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2630 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2631 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2632 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2633 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2634 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2635 enabled for this to work.
2636
2637 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2638 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2639 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2640 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2641 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2642 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2643 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2644 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2645 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2646 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)

2842 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2843 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2844 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2845 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2846 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2847 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2848 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2849 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.

2851 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2852 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2853 called slip.

2860 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2861 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2862 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2863 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2864 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2865 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2866 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2867 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2868 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2869 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.

2881 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
2882 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
2883 analogue lines.

2888 help
2889 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2890 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2891 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2892 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2893 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2894 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2895 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.

2901 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2902 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2903 intended to replace SCSI.
2904
2905 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2906 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2907 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2908 "SCSI generic support".

2914 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2915 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2916 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2917 these virtual devices. See
2918 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2919
Jiri Slaby3b6a7922006-11-06 14:34:48 -08002920 An alternative to this traffic shaper are traffic schedulers which
2921 you'll get if you say Y to "QoS and/or fair queuing" in
2922 "Networking options".
