You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
|
|
any other computer at all.
|
|
|
|
You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
|
|
you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
|
|
telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
|
|
two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
|
|
AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.

This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to

|
this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
|
|
address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
|
|
inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
|
|
If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
|
|
thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
|
|
kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network

|

SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone

TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space

device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,

receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
|

via physical media writes them to the user space program.
|
|
|
|
When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
|
|
corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above

devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and

provided by your regular phone modem.

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

|

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

Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the

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

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read

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

config PPP_BSDCOMP

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

Support for PPP over Ethernet.
|
|
|
|
This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS
|
|
repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the
|
|
RoaringPenguin package (<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe>)
|

which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under
|
|
the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE").

help
|
|
Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames.
|
|
This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364,
|
|
which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and
|
|
changes its encapsulation unilaterally.

config SLIP

tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"

depends on NETDEVICES
|
|
---help---
|
|
Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
|
|
connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
|
|
other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
|
|
Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
|
|
Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
|
|
serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
|
|
nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
|
|
purpose.
|
|
|
|
Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
|
|
to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
|
|
around (available from
|
|
<ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
|
|
allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
|
|
you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
|
|
NET-3-HOWTO, available from
|
|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
|
|
configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
|
|
want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
|
|
Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
|
|
some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
|
|
<http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
|
|
support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
|
|
<file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be

called slip.

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

RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
|

analogue lines.

config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6

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

config NET_FC

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

config SHAPER
|

tristate "Traffic Shaper (EXPERIMENTAL)"

|
depends on NETDEVICES && EXPERIMENTAL
|
|
---help---
|
|
The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that allows you to
|
|
limit the rate of outgoing data flow over some other network device.
|
|
The traffic that you want to slow down can then be routed through
|
|
these virtual devices. See
|
|
<file:Documentation/networking/shaper.txt> for more information.
|
|
|
|
An alternative to this traffic shaper is the experimental
|
|
Class-Based Queueing (CBQ) scheduling support which you get if you
|
|
say Y to "QoS and/or fair queueing" above.
|
|
|
|
To set up and configure shaper devices, you need the shapecfg
|
|
program, available from <ftp://shadow.cabi.net/pub/Linux/> in the
|
|
shaper package.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
|
|
will be called shaper. If unsure, say N.
