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.

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.

208 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the

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

2843 ---help---
2844 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2845 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2846 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2847 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2848 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2849 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2850 enabled for this to work.
2851
2852 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2853 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2854 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2855 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2856 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2857 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2858 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2859 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2860 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2861 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2862 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.

2867 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2868 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2869 your kernel by about 8 KB.

2879 ---help---
2880 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2881 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2882 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2883 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2884 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2885
2886 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2887 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2888 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2889 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2890 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2891
2892 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2893 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2894 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2895 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2896 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2897 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2898 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2899 synchronous PPP", below.
2900
2901 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2902 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2903 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
2904 here and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.

2911 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2912 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2913 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2914
2915 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a

2977 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is

2979 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2980 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2981 it is safe to say Y here.
2982
2983 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2984 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2985 and is patent-free.
2986
2987 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a

3044 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
3045 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
3046 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
3047 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
3048 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
3049 purpose.
3050
3051 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
3052 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
3053 around (available from
3054 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
