A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option enabled for this to work. The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in . The cables can be up to 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet driver () and winsock or NCSA's telnet. If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from . Note that the PLIP protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges your kernel by about 8 KB. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop later. config PPP tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support" select SLHC ---help--- PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these days support PPP rather than SLIP. To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described in the PPP-HOWTO, available at . Make sure that you have the version of pppd recommended in . The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB. There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support synchronous PPP", below. If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will be called ppp_generic. config PPP_MULTILINK bool "PPP multilink support (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL help PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth. This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol. If unsure, say N. config PPP_FILTER bool "PPP filtering" depends on PPP help Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely. You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and active-filter options to pppd. If unsure, say N. config PPP_ASYNC tristate "PPP support for async serial ports" depends on PPP select CRC_CCITT ---help--- Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over standard asynchronous serial ports, such as COM1 or COM2 on a PC. If you use a modem (not a synchronous or ISDN modem) to contact your ISP, you need this option. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say Y. config PPP_SYNC_TTY tristate "PPP support for sync tty ports" depends on PPP help Say Y (or M) here if you want to be able to use PPP over synchronous (HDLC) tty devices, such as the SyncLink adapter. These devices are often used for high-speed leased lines like T1/E1. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. config PPP_DEFLATE tristate "PPP Deflate compression" depends on PPP select ZLIB_INFLATE select ZLIB_DEFLATE ---help--- Support for the Deflate compression method for PPP, which uses the Deflate algorithm (the same algorithm that gzip uses) to compress each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the Deflate compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. config PPP_BSDCOMP tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression" depends on PPP ---help--- Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link (usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it, it is safe to say Y here. The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression", above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better and is patent-free. Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N. config PPP_MPPE tristate "PPP MPPE compression (encryption) (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on PPP && EXPERIMENTAL select CRYPTO select CRYPTO_SHA1 select CRYPTO_ARC4 select CRYPTO_ECB ---help--- Support for the MPPE Encryption protocol, as employed by the Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol. See http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ for information on configuring PPTP clients and servers to utilize this method. config PPPOE tristate "PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPP help Support for PPP over Ethernet. This driver requires the latest version of pppd from the CVS repository at cvs.samba.org. Alternatively, see the RoaringPenguin package () which contains instruction on how to use this driver (under the heading "Kernel mode PPPoE"). config PPPOATM tristate "PPP over ATM" depends on ATM && PPP help Support PPP (Point to Point Protocol) encapsulated in ATM frames. This implementation does not yet comply with section 8 of RFC2364, which can lead to bad results if the ATM peer loses state and changes its encapsulation unilaterally. config PPPOL2TP tristate "PPP over L2TP (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on EXPERIMENTAL && L2TP && PPP help Support for PPP-over-L2TP socket family. L2TP is a protocol used by ISPs and enterprises to tunnel PPP traffic over UDP tunnels. L2TP is replacing PPTP for VPN uses. config SLIP tristate "SLIP (serial line) support" ---help--- Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables; nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same purpose. Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP around (available from ) which allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from , explains how to configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on some Internet connected Unix computer. Read ). SLIP support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will be called slip. config SLIP_COMPRESSED bool "CSLIP compressed headers" depends on SLIP select SLHC ---help--- This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from ) which allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from , explains how to configure CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel. config SLHC tristate help This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression routines. config SLIP_SMART bool "Keepalive and linefill" depends on SLIP help Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality analogue lines. config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6 bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation" depends on SLIP help Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP: "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N. config NET_FC bool "Fibre Channel driver support" depends on SCSI && PCI help Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and intended to replace SCSI. If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and "SCSI generic support". config NETCONSOLE tristate "Network console logging support" ---help--- If you want to log kernel messages over the network, enable this. See for details. config NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC bool "Dynamic reconfiguration of logging targets" depends on NETCONSOLE && SYSFS select CONFIGFS_FS help This option enables the ability to dynamically reconfigure target parameters (interface, IP addresses, port numbers, MAC addresses) at runtime through a userspace interface exported using configfs. See for details. config NETPOLL def_bool NETCONSOLE config NETPOLL_TRAP bool "Netpoll traffic trapping" default n depends on NETPOLL config NET_POLL_CONTROLLER def_bool NETPOLL config VIRTIO_NET tristate "Virtio network driver (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on EXPERIMENTAL && VIRTIO ---help--- This is the virtual network driver for virtio. It can be used with lguest or QEMU based VMMs (like KVM or Xen). Say Y or M. config VMXNET3 tristate "VMware VMXNET3 ethernet driver" depends on PCI && INET help This driver supports VMware's vmxnet3 virtual ethernet NIC. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called vmxnet3. endif # NETDEVICES
