  9. You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
  10. any other computer at all.
  11. You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
  12. you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
  13. telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
  14. two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as

  35. Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
  36. 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
  37. The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
  38. performance and high availability operation.

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

  49. inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
  50. If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
  51. thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your

  62. SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone

  64. one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
  65. to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
  66. Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.

  79. intended to replace SCSI.
  80. If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel

  119. can be added in the same way as a macvlan device, using 'type

  177. device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
  178. receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
  179. via physical media writes them to the user space program.
  180. When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
  181. corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
  182. devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
