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.

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.

|
|
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

your kernel by about 8 KB.

|
|
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
|
|

|
|
synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
|
|

|
|
|
|
If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then

bool "CSLIP compressed headers"

select SLHC
|
|
---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.

Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the

RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality

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.

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".
