8 bool "Network device support"
9 ---help---
10 You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
11 any other computer at all.
12
13 You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
14 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
15 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
16 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
17 AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.
18
19 See also "The Linux Network Administrator's Guide" by Olaf Kirch and
20 Terry Dawson. Available at <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>.
21
22 If unsure, say Y.
23
24config DUMMY
25 tristate "Dummy net driver support"
26 depends on NETDEVICES
27 ---help---
28 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
29 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
30 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
31 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
32 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
33 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
34 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
35 Administrator's Guide, available from
36 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
37
38 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
39 will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
40 device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
41 Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
42 'dummy1' etc.
43
44config BONDING
45 tristate "Bonding driver support"
46 depends on NETDEVICES
47 depends on INET
48 ---help---
49 Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
50 Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
51 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
52
53 The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
54 perfomance and high availability operation.
55
56 Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
57 information.
58
59 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
60 will be called bonding.

62config EQUALIZER
63 tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
64 depends on NETDEVICES
65 ---help---
66 If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
67 usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
68 SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
69 lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
70 one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
71 to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
72 Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
73
74 Say Y if you want this and read
75 <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
76 section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
77 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

82config TUN
83 tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
84 depends on NETDEVICES
85 select CRC32
86 ---help---
87 TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
88 programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
89 device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
90 receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
91 via physical media writes them to the user space program.
92
93 When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
94 corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
95 devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
96 all routes corresponding to it.
97
98 Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
99 information.
100
101 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
102 will be called tun.

108 depends on NETDEVICES && PNP
109 ---help---
110 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
111 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
112 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
113 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
114 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
115 provided by your regular phone modem.
116
117 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
118 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
119 <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
120 to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
121 a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be
122 found at:

143 ---help---
144 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
145 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
146
147 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
148 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
149 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
150 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
151 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
152 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
153 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
154 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
155 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
156
157 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
158 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
159 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
160 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
161 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
162
163 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
164 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
165 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.

196 Y here if you have such a machine. If unsure, say N.

2275 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a

2277 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2278 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2279 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2280 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2281 enabled for this to work.
2282
2283 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2284 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2285 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2286 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2287 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2288 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2289 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2290 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2291 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2292 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)

2311 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2312 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2313 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2314 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2315 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2316
2317 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2318 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2319 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2320 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2321 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2322
2323 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2324 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2325 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2326 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2327 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2328 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2329 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2330 synchronous PPP", below.
2331

2453 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2454 purpose.
