13 | You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to | |
14 | any other computer at all. | |
15 | ||
16 | You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that | |
17 | you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over | |
18 | telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting | |
19 | two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as | |
20 | AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links. | |
21 | ||

32 | This is an intermidiate driver that allows sharing of | |
33 | resources. | |
34 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module | |
35 | will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb | |
36 | device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module. | |
37 | Instead of 'ifb', the devices will then be called 'ifb0', | |
38 | 'ifb1' etc. | |

43 | ---help--- |
44 | This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to | |
45 | this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP | |
46 | address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently | |
47 | inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs. | |
48 | If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this | |
49 | thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your | |
50 | kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network | |
51 | Administrator's Guide, available from | |
52 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#guide>. | |

54 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module | |

80 | If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this | |
81 | usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use | |
82 | SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone | |
83 | lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like | |
84 | one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has | |
85 | to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL | |
86 | Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e. | |

101 | programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet | |
102 | device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media, | |
103 | receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets | |
104 | via physical media writes them to the user space program. | |
105 | ||
106 | When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers | |
107 | corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above | |

2432 | ---help--- |
2433 | PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a | |
2434 | reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more) | |
2435 | local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to | |
2436 | install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a | |
2437 | CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies | |
2438 | first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option | |
2439 | enabled for this to work. | |
2440 | ||
2441 | The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel | |
2442 | ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected | |
2443 | with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4 | |
2444 | bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on | |
2445 | bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a | |
2446 | time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in | |
2447 | <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to | |
2448 | 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows | |
2449 | and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet | |
2450 | driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>) | |
2451 | and winsock or NCSA's telnet. | |

2454 | as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from | |
2455 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP | |
2456 | protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together | |
2457 | with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges | |
2458 | your kernel by about 8 KB. | |

2468 | PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves | |
2469 | the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other | |
2470 | serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because | |
2471 | otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these | |
2472 | days support PPP rather than SLIP. | |
2473 | ||
2474 | To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described | |
2475 | in the PPP-HOWTO, available at | |
2476 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have | |
2477 | the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>. | |
2478 | The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB. | |
2479 | ||
2480 | There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for | |
2481 | asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and | |
2482 | synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for | |
2483 | example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other | |
2484 | asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to | |
2485 | the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over | |
2486 | synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support | |
2487 | synchronous PPP", below. | |
2488 | ||
2489 | If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then | |
2490 | you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only | |
2491 | compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M | |

2551 | Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the | |

2553 | each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the | |
2554 | other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the | |

2564 | Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses | |
2565 | the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is | |
2566 | sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link | |
2567 | (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression | |
2568 | method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it, | |

2570 | ||
2571 | The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression", | |
2572 | above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better | |
2573 | and is patent-free. | |
2574 | ||
2575 | Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a | |
2576 | module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory | |
2577 | modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N. | |

2617 | connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some | |
2618 | other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a | |
2619 | Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line | |
2620 | Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over | |
2621 | serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables; | |
2622 | nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same | |
2623 | purpose. | |
2624 | ||
2625 | Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you | |
2626 | to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP | |
2627 | around (available from | |
2628 | <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which | |
2629 | allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If | |
2630 | you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The | |
2631 | NET-3-HOWTO, available from | |
2632 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to | |
2633 | configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just | |
2634 | want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full | |
2635 | Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on | |
2636 | some Internet connected Unix computer. Read | |
2637 | <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP | |

2648 | This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the | |
2649 | TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported | |
2650 | on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and | |
2651 | answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If | |
2652 | you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from | |
2653 | <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which | |
2654 | allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you | |
2655 | definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from | |

2671 | Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial | |
2672 | networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven | |
2673 | bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP: | |
2674 | "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over | |
2675 | the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other | |
2676 | end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP | |
2677 | over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N. | |
