  30. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  31. will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
  32. device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
  33. Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',

  35. Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
  36. config DUMMY
  37. tristate "Dummy net driver support"
  38. ---help---
  39. This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
  40. this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
  41. address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
  42. inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
  43. If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
  44. thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
  45. kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
  46. Administrator's Guide, available from
  47. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
  48. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module

  59. Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
  60. 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
  61. The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
  62. performance and high availability operation.
  63. Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more

  73. Macvlan devices can be added using the "ip" command from the
  74. iproute2 package starting with the iproute2-2.6.23 release:
  75. "ip link add link <real dev> [ address MAC ] [ NAME ] type macvlan"

  82. This adds a specialized tap character device driver that is based
  83. on the MAC-VLAN network interface, called macvtap. A macvtap device
  84. can be added in the same way as a macvlan device, using 'type
  85. macvlan', and then be accessed through the tap user space interface.
  86. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  87. will be called macvtap.

  91. If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
  92. usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
  93. SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
  94. lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
  95. one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
  96. to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
  97. Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
  98. Say Y if you want this and read
  99. <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
  100. section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
  101. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

  107. ---help---
  108. TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
  109. programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
  110. device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
  111. receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
  112. via physical media writes them to the user space program.
  113. When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
  114. corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
  115. devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
  116. all routes corresponding to it.
  117. Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
  118. information.
  119. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  120. will be called tun.

  132. This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
  133. NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
  134. cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
  135. TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
  136. downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
  137. provided by your regular phone modem.
  138. At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
  139. you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
  140. <file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
  141. to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
  142. a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be

  164. Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
  165. type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
  166. Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
  167. coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
  168. pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
  169. hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
  170. 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
  171. 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair

  1012. The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
  1013. ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
  1014. with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
  1015. bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
  1016. bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a

  1018. <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
  1019. 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows

  1182. nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
  1183. purpose.
  1184. Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
  1185. to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
  1186. around (available from
  1187. <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
  1188. allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If

  1190. NET-3-HOWTO, available from
