13 You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
14 any other computer at all.

16 You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
17 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
18 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
19 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as

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

163 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
164 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
165 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
166 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
167 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),

169 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
170 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
171 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07002613 ---help---
2614 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2615 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2616 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2617 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2618 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2619 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2620 enabled for this to work.
2621
2622 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2623 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2624 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2625 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2626 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2627 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2628 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2629 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2630 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2631 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)

2639 your kernel by about 8 KB.

2650 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2651 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2652 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2653 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2654 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2655
2656 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2657 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2658 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2659 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2660 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2661
2662 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2663 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2664 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2665 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2666 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2667 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2668 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2669 synchronous PPP", below.
2670
2671 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2672 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2673 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2674 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.

2681 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2682 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2683 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2684
2685 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a

2750 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2751 it is safe to say Y here.
2752
2753 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",

2755 and is patent-free.

2800 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2801 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2802 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2803 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2804 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2805 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2806 purpose.
2807
2808 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2809 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2810 around (available from
2811 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2812 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2813 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2814 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2815 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2816 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just

2818 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2819 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2820 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
