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).

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

206 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.

2842 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2843 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2844 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2845 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2846 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2847 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2848 enabled for this to work.
2849
2850 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2851 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2852 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2853 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2854 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2855 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2856 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2857 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2858 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2859 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)

2877 ---help---
2878 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2879 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2880 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2881 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2882 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2883
2884 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2885 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2886 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2887 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2888 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2889
2890 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2891 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2892 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2893 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2894 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2895 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2896 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2897 synchronous PPP", below.
2898
2899 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2900 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2901 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M

2981 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",

3046 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
3047 purpose.
