  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>.

  34. Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
  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.
  39. Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.txt> for more
  40. information.
  41. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  42. will be called bonding.

  45. ---help---
  46. This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
  47. this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
  48. address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
  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
  52. kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
  53. Administrator's Guide, available from
  54. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>.
  55. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
  56. will be called dummy. If you want to use more than one dummy
  57. device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
  58. Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
  59. 'dummy1' etc.

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

  79. help
  80. Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
  81. large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
  82. intended to replace SCSI.
  83. If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
  84. adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
  85. adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
  86. "SCSI generic support".
  87. config MII

  90. Most ethernet controllers have MII transceiver either as an external

  92. ethernet card lacks MII.

  101. will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
  102. device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
  103. Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0',

  112. Macvlan devices can be added using the "ip" command from the
  113. iproute2 package starting with the iproute2-2.6.23 release:

  121. This adds a specialized tap character device driver that is based
  122. on the MAC-VLAN network interface, called macvtap. A macvtap device
  123. can be added in the same way as a macvlan device, using 'type
  124. macvlan', and then be accessed through the tap user space interface.

  164. TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
  165. programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
  166. device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
  167. receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
  168. via physical media writes them to the user space program.
  169. When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
  170. corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
  171. devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
  172. all routes corresponding to it.
  173. Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more
  174. information.
  175. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
