11 You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
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

189 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
190 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
191
192 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
193 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
194 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
195 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
196 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
197 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
198 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
199 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
200 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
201

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

2780 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2781 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2782 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2783 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2784 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2785 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2786 enabled for this to work.
2787
2788 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2789 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2790 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2791 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2792 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2793 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2794 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2795 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2796 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2797 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2798 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.

2801 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2802 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2803 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2804 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2805 your kernel by about 8 KB.

2816 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2817 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2818 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2819 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2820 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2821
2822 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2823 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2824 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2825 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2826 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2827
2828 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2829 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2830 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2831 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2832 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2833 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2834 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
