13 any other computer at all.

15 You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
16 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
17 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
18 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
19 AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.

33 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
34 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
35 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
36 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
37 If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
38 thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
39 kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network

146 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
147 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
148
149 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
150 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
151 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
152 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
153 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
154 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
155 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
156 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
157 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07002315 ---help---
2316 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2317 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2318 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2319 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2320 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2321 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2322 enabled for this to work.
2323
2324 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2325 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2326 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2327 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2328 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2329 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2330 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2331 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2332 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2333 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2334 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2335
2336 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2337 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2338 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2339 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2340 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2341 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2342
2343 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07002350 ---help---
2351 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2352 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2353 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2354 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2355 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2356
2357 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2358 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2359 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2360 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2361 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2362
2363 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2364 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2365 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2366 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2367 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2368 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2369 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2370 synchronous PPP", below.
2371
2372 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2373 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2374 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M

2434 Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
2435 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2436 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2437 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
2438 Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if

2447 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2448 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2449 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2450 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2451 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2452 it is safe to say Y here.
2453
2454 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2455 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2456 and is patent-free.
2457
2458 Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
2459 module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
2460 modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.

2484 tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07002485 ---help---
2486 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2487 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2488 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2489 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2490 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2491 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2492 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2493 purpose.
2494
2495 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2496 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2497 around (available from
2498 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2499 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2500 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2501 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2502 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2503 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2504 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2505 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2506 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2507 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2508 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
2509
2510 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
2511 <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
2512 called slip.
2513
2514config SLIP_COMPRESSED
2515 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
2516 depends on SLIP
2517 ---help---
2518 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
2519 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
2520 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
2521 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
2522 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
2523 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2524 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
2525 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2526 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
2527 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
2528

2537config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
2538 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
2539 depends on SLIP
2540 help
2541 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
2542 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
2543 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
2544 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
2545 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
2546 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
2547 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.

2553 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
2554 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
2555 intended to replace SCSI.
2556
2557 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
2558 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
2559 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
2560 "SCSI generic support".

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07002565 ---help---
2566 The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
2567 limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
2568 The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
2569 these virtual devices. See
2570 <file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
2571
2572 An alternative to this traffic shaper is the experimental
2573 Class-Based Queueing (CBQ) scheduling support which you get if you
2574 say Y to "QoS and/or fair queueing" above.
2575
2576 To set up and configure shaper devices, you need the shapecfg
2577 program, available from <ftp://shadow.cabi.net/pub/Linux/> in the
2578 shaper package.
2579
