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.

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

2777 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2778 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2779 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2780 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2781 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2782 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2783 enabled for this to work.
2784
2785 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2786 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2787 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2788 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2789 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2790 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2791 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2792 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2793 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2794 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2795 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.

2801 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges

2813 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves

2815 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2816 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2817 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2818
2819 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described

2822 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2823 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.

2829 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to

2916 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",

2975 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2976 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2977 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2978 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2979 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2980 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2981 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2982 purpose.
2983
2984 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2985 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2986 around (available from
2987 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2988 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2989 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2990 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2991 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2992 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2993 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2994 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2995 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2996 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP

3008 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the

3011 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3012 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from

3040 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3041 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3042 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
