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

157 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read

181 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
182 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
183
184 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
185 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
186 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
187 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
188 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
189 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
190 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
191 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
192 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).

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

2803 ---help---
2804 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2805 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2806 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2807 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2808 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2809 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2810 enabled for this to work.
2811
2812 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2813 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2814 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2815 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2816 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2817 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2818 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2819 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2820 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2821 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2822 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.

2825 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2826 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP

2829 your kernel by about 8 KB.

2839 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2840 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2841 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2842 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2843 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2844
2845 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2846 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2847 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2848 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2849 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2850
2851 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2852 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2853 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2854 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2855 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to

2857 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support

3004 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
3005 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
3006 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
3007 purpose.
3008
3009 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
3010 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
3011 around (available from
