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

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.

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

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
205 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
206 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.

210 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.

2785 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a

2787 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2788 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2789 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2790 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2791 enabled for this to work.
2792
2793 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2794 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2795 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2796 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2797 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2798 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2799 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2800 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2801 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2802 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2803 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.

2821 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2822 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2823 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2824 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2825 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2826
2827 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described

2830 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2831 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.

2833 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2834 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2835 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2836 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2837 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to

2839 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2840 synchronous PPP", below.
2841
2842 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then

2983 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2984 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2985 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2986 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2987 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2988 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2989 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2990 purpose.
2991
2992 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2993 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2994 around (available from
2995 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2996 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2997 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2998 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2999 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
3000 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
3001 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
3002 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
3003 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
3004 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP

3016 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the

3019 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3020 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from

3022 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you

3048 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3049 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
