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.
20
21 See also "The Linux Network Administrator's Guide" by Olaf Kirch and
22 Terry Dawson. Available at <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>.

28 depends on NETDEVICES
29 ---help---
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
38 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.

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

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

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.

112 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
113 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
114 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
115 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
116 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
117 provided by your regular phone modem.
118
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
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).
158
159 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
160 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
161 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
162 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
163 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
164

2276 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a

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>)

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.

2320 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2321 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2322 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2323
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

2454 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2455 purpose.

2499config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2500 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2501 depends on SLIP
2502 help
2503 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2504 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2505 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2506 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2507 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2508 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2509 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.

2511config NET_FC
2512 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"

2514 help
2515 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
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".

2524config 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.

2549 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.
2550 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.
