  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
  15. AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.
  16. See also "The Linux Network Administrator's Guide" by Olaf Kirch and
  17. Terry Dawson. Available at <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>.

  25. ---help---
  26. This is an intermediate driver that allows sharing of
  27. resources.
  28. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  29. will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
  30. device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
  31. Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',
  32. 'ifb1' etc.
  33. Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc
  34. config DUMMY
  35. tristate "Dummy net driver support"
  36. ---help---
  37. This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
  38. this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
  39. address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
  40. inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
  41. If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
  42. thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your
  43. kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
  44. Administrator's Guide, available from
  45. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
  46. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  47. will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
  48. device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
  49. Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
  50. 'dummy1' etc.

  54. depends on IPV6 || IPV6=n
  55. ---help---
  56. Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
  57. Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
  58. 'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
  59. The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
  60. performance and high availability operation.
  61. Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
  62. information.
  63. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  64. will be called bonding.
  65. config MACVLAN

  67. depends on EXPERIMENTAL
  68. ---help---
  69. This allows one to create virtual interfaces that map packets to
  70. or from specific MAC addresses to a particular interface.
  71. Macvlan devices can be added using the "ip" command from the
  72. iproute2 package starting with the iproute2-2.6.23 release:
  73. "ip link add link <real dev> [ address MAC ] [ NAME ] type macvlan"
  74. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  75. will be called macvlan.
  76. config MACVTAP
  77. tristate "MAC-VLAN based tap driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
  78. depends on MACVLAN
  79. help
  80. This adds a specialized tap character device driver that is based
  81. on the MAC-VLAN network interface, called macvtap. A macvtap device
  82. can be added in the same way as a macvlan device, using 'type
  83. macvlan', and then be accessed through the tap user space interface.
  84. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  85. will be called macvtap.
  86. config EQUALIZER
  87. tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
  88. ---help---
  89. If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
  90. usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
  91. SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
  92. lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
  93. one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
  94. to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
  95. Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
  96. Say Y if you want this and read
  97. <file:Documentation/networking/eql.txt>. You may also want to read
  98. section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
  99. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
  100. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  101. will be called eql. If unsure, say N.
  102. config TUN
  103. tristate "Universal TUN/TAP device driver support"
  104. select CRC32
  105. ---help---
  106. TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
  107. programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
  108. device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
  109. receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
  110. via physical media writes them to the user space program.
  111. When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
  112. corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
  113. devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
  114. all routes corresponding to it.
  115. Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
  116. information.
  117. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  118. will be called tun.
  119. If you don't know what to use this for, you don't need it.
  120. config VETH
  121. tristate "Virtual ethernet pair device"
  122. ---help---
  123. This device is a local ethernet tunnel. Devices are created in pairs.

  125. versa.

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

  143. <http://home.adelphia.net/~siglercm/sb1000.html>
