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.

53 This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
54 this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
55 address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
56 inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
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.
207
208 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
209 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
210 the questions about Ethernet network cards. If unsure, say N.

2793 ---help---
2794 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2795 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2796 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2797 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2798 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2799 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2800 enabled for this to work.
2801
2802 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2803 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2804 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2805 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2806 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2807 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2808 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2809 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2810 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2811 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
2812 and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
2813
2814 If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
2815 as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
2816 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
2817 protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
2818 with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges
2819 your kernel by about 8 KB.
2820
2821 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read

2829 ---help---
2830 PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
2831 the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
2832 serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
2833 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
2834 days support PPP rather than SLIP.
2835
2836 To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
2837 in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
2838 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
2839 the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
2840 The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
2841
2842 There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
2843 asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
2844 synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
2845 example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
2846 asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
2847 the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
2848 synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
2849 synchronous PPP", below.
2850
2851 If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
2852 you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
2853 compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M

2860 help
2861 PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
2862 to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
2863 connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
2864
2865 This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
2866 version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.

2914 Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
2915 each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
2916 other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the

2926 Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
2927 the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
2928 sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
2929 (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
2930 method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
2931 it is safe to say Y here.
2932
2933 The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
2934 above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
2935 and is patent-free.
2936

2992 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2993 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2994 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2995 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2996 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2997 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2998 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2999 purpose.
3000
3001 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
3002 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
3003 around (available from
3004 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3005 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
3006 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
3007 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3008 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
3009 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
3010 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
3011 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
3012 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
3013 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP

3025 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the

3027 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
3028 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3029 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
3030 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3031 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
3032 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from

3054 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3055 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3056 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3057 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3058 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3059 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
