8 | AppleTalk is the protocol that Apple computers can use to communicate | |
9 | on a network. If your Linux box is connected to such a network and you | |
10 | wish to connect to it, say Y. You will need to use the netatalk package | |
11 | so that your Linux box can act as a print and file server for Macs as | |
12 | well as access AppleTalk printers. Check out | |
13 | <http://www.zettabyte.net/netatalk/> on the WWW for details. | |
14 | EtherTalk is the name used for AppleTalk over Ethernet and the | |
15 | cheaper and slower LocalTalk is AppleTalk over a proprietary Apple | |
16 | network using serial links. EtherTalk and LocalTalk are fully | |
17 | supported by Linux. | |
18 | ||
19 | General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and | |
20 | Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>. The | |
21 | NET-3-HOWTO, available from | |
22 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable | |
23 | information as well. | |

25 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be | |
26 | called appletalk. You almost certainly want to compile it as a | |
27 | module so you can restart your AppleTalk stack without rebooting | |
28 | your machine. I hear that the GNU boycott of Apple is over, so | |
29 | even politically correct people are allowed to say Y here. | |

35 | AppleTalk is the protocol that Apple computers can use to communicate | |
36 | on a network. If your Linux box is connected to such a network, and wish | |
37 | to do IP over it, or you have a LocalTalk card and wish to use it to | |
38 | connect to the AppleTalk network, say Y. | |

44 | help |
45 | This allows you to use the AppleTalk PC card to connect to LocalTalk | |
46 | networks. The card is also known as the Farallon PhoneNet PC card. | |
47 | If you are in doubt, this card is the one with the 65C02 chip on it. | |
48 | You also need version 1.3.3 or later of the netatalk package. | |
49 | This driver is experimental, which means that it may not work. | |
50 | See the file <file:Documentation/networking/ltpc.txt>. | |

56 | This allows you to use COPS AppleTalk cards to connect to LocalTalk | |
57 | networks. You also need version 1.3.3 or later of the netatalk | |
58 | package. This driver is experimental, which means that it may not | |
59 | work. This driver will only work if you choose "AppleTalk DDP" | |
60 | networking support, above. | |
61 | Please read the file <file:Documentation/networking/cops.txt>. | |

80 | depends on DEV_APPLETALK && ATALK | |
81 | ---help--- | |
82 | This allows IP networking for users who only have AppleTalk | |
83 | networking available. This feature is experimental. With this | |
84 | driver, you can encapsulate IP inside AppleTalk (e.g. if your Linux | |
85 | box is stuck on an AppleTalk only network) or decapsulate (e.g. if | |
86 | you want your Linux box to act as an Internet gateway for a zoo of | |
87 | AppleTalk connected Macs). Please see the file | |
88 | <file:Documentation/networking/ipddp.txt> for more information. | |
89 | ||
90 | If you say Y here, the AppleTalk-IP support will be compiled into | |
91 | the kernel. In this case, you can either use encapsulation or | |
92 | decapsulation, but not both. With the following two questions, you | |
93 | decide which one you want. | |
94 | ||
95 | To compile the AppleTalk-IP support as a module, choose M here: the | |
96 | module will be called ipddp. | |
97 | In this case, you will be able to use both encapsulation and | |
98 | decapsulation simultaneously, by loading two copies of the module | |
99 | and specifying different values for the module option ipddp_mode. | |

104 | help | |
105 | If you say Y here, the AppleTalk-IP code will be able to encapsulate | |
106 | IP packets inside AppleTalk frames; this is useful if your Linux box | |
107 | is stuck on an AppleTalk network (which hopefully contains a | |
108 | decapsulator somewhere). Please see | |
109 | <file:Documentation/networking/ipddp.txt> for more information. If | |
110 | you said Y to "AppleTalk-IP driver support" above and you say Y | |
111 | here, then you cannot say Y to "AppleTalk-IP to IP Decapsulation | |
112 | support", below. | |

119 | AppleTalk-IP frames to IP packets; this is useful if you want your | |
120 | Linux box to act as an Internet gateway for an AppleTalk network. | |
121 | Please see <file:Documentation/networking/ipddp.txt> for more | |
122 | information. If you said Y to "AppleTalk-IP driver support" above | |
123 | and you say Y here, then you cannot say Y to "IP to AppleTalk-IP | |
124 | Encapsulation support", above. | |
