10 You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
11 any other computer at all.

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.

44 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
45 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
46 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently

48 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
49 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your

178 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
179 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
180
181 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
182 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
183 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
184 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
185 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
186 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
187 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
188 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
189 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
190
191 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
192 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
193 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
194 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
195 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.

197 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
198 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
199 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.

2920 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a

2922 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2923 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2924 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2925 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2926 enabled for this to work.
2927
2928 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2929 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2930 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2931 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2932 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2933 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2934 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2935 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2936 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet

2955 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2956 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2957 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2958 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2959 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
