12 any other computer at all.

15 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
16 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
17 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as

186 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
187 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.

189 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
190 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
191 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
192 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
193 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
194 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
195 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
196 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
197 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).

1457 in the format 123456-001 (six digits hyphen three digits).
1458
1459 Use the above information and the Adapter & Driver ID Guide at:
1460
1461 <http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm>
1462
1463 to identify the adapter.

2227 Say Y here if you have a Marvell Yukon or SysKonnect SK-98xx/SK-95xx
2228 compliant Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.
2229
2230 This driver supports the original Yukon chipset. This driver is
2231 deprecated and will be removed from the kernel in the near future,
2232 it has been replaced by the skge driver. skge is cleaner and
2233 seems to work better.
2234
2235 This driver does not support the newer Yukon2 chipset. A separate
2236 driver, sky2, is provided to support Yukon2-based adapters.

2828 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2829 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2830 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2831 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2832 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2833 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2834 enabled for this to work.
2835
2836 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2837 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2838 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2839 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2840 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2841 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2842 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2843 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2844 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2845 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)

2958 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2959 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2960 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2961 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2962 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2963 it is safe to say Y here.
2964
2965 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2966 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2967 and is patent-free.
2968
2969 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2970 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2971 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.

3024 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
3025 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
3026 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
3027 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
3028 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
3029 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
3030 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
3031 purpose.
3032
3033 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
3034 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
3035 around (available from
3036 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3037 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
3038 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
3039 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3040 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
3041 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
3042 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
3043 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
3044 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
3045 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
3046 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.

3056 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
3057 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
3058 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
3059 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3060 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
3061 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3062 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
3063 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from

3085 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3086 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven

3088 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3089 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3090 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3091 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
