17 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over

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

205 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
206 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
207 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
208 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),

211 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
212 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
213 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).

920 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
921 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected

923 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
924 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
925 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
926 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to

950 otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
951 days support PPP rather than SLIP.

1130 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
1131 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
1132 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
1133 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
1134 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
1135 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
1136 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
1137
1138 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
1139 will be called slip.

1141 config SLIP_COMPRESSED
1142 bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
1143 depends on SLIP
1144 select SLHC
1145 ---help---
1146 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
1147 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
1148 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
1149 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
1150 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
1151 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
1152 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
1153 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
1154 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
1155 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.

1157 config SLHC
1158 tristate
1159 help
1160 This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
1161 routines.

1163 config SLIP_SMART
1164 bool "Keepalive and linefill"
1165 depends on SLIP
1166 help
1167 Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
1168 RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
1169 analogue lines.
1170
1171 config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
1172 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
1173 depends on SLIP
1174 help
1175 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
1176 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
1177 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
1178 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
1179 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
1180 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
1181 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
1182
1183 config NET_FC
1184 bool "Fibre Channel driver support"
1185 depends on SCSI && PCI
1186 help
1187 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
1188 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
1189 intended to replace SCSI.
1190
1191 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
1192 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
1193 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
1194 "SCSI generic support".
1195
1196 config NETCONSOLE
1197 tristate "Network console logging support"
1198 ---help---
1199 If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this.

1203 bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets"
1204 depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS && CONFIGFS_FS && \
1205 !(NETCONSOLE=y && CONFIGFS_FS=m)
1206 help
1207 This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target
1208 parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses)
1209 at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs.
1210 See <file:Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt> for details.

1227 This is the virtual network driver for virtio. It can be used with
1228 lguest or QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M.
