  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

  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
  64. information.
  65. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module

  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.

  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

  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

  132. This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
  133. NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal

  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

  1070. serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
  1071. otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
  1072. days support PPP rather than SLIP.
  1073. To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
  1074. in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
  1075. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
  1076. the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
  1077. The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
  1078. There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
  1079. asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
  1080. synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
  1081. example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
  1082. asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
  1083. the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
  1084. synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
  1085. synchronous PPP", below.
  1086. If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
  1087. you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
  1088. compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
  1089. here. The module will be called ppp_generic.
  1090. config PPP_MULTILINK
  1091. bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
  1092. depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL
  1093. help
  1094. PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
  1095. to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
  1096. connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
  1097. This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a
  1098. version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
  1099. If unsure, say N.
  1100. config PPP_FILTER
  1101. bool "PPP filtering"
  1102. depends on PPP
  1103. help
  1104. Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over
  1105. PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
  1106. activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
  1107. a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
  1108. You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and
  1109. active-filter options to pppd.

  1116. Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard
  1117. asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use
  1118. a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you
  1119. need this option.
  1120. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
  1121. If unsure, say Y.

  1135. ---help---
  1136. Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the
  1137. Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress
  1138. each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the
  1139. other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the
  1140. Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if
  1141. they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here.
  1142. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.
  1143. config PPP_BSDCOMP
  1144. tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
  1145. depends on PPP
  1146. ---help---
  1147. Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
  1148. the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
  1149. sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
  1150. (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
  1151. method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
  1152. it is safe to say Y here.
  1153. The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
  1154. above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
  1155. and is patent-free.
  1156. Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
  1157. module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
  1158. modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.

  1208. Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
  1209. connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
  1210. other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
  1211. Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
  1212. Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
  1213. serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
  1214. nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
  1215. purpose.
  1216. Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
  1217. to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
  1218. around (available from
  1219. <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
  1220. allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
  1221. you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
  1222. NET-3-HOWTO, available from
  1223. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
  1224. configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just

  1237. This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
  1238. TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
  1239. on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
  1240. answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
  1241. you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
  1242. <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which

  1263. Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
  1264. networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
  1265. bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
  1266. "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
  1267. the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
  1268. end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
