11 You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
12 any other computer at all.
13
14 You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
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
18 AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.

53 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
54 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
55 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
56 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
57 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
58 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your

148 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as

151 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way

153 provided by your regular phone modem.

156 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read

190 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
191 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
192
193 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
194 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
195 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
196 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
197 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
198 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
199 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
200 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
201 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
202

204 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
205 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
206 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
207 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.

2781 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2782 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2783 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2784 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2785 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2786 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2787 enabled for this to work.
2788
2789 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2790 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2791 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2792 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2793 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2794 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2795 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2796 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2797 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2798 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2799 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.

2802 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2803 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2804 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2805 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2806 your kernel by about 8 KB.

2808 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read

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

2850 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.

2979 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2980 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2981 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2982 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2983 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2984 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2985 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2986 purpose.
2987
2988 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2989 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2990 around (available from
2991 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2992 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2993 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2994 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2995 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2996 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just

2998 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
