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

This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to

inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
|

If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this
|
|
thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your

SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone

via physical media writes them to the user space program.

When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers

|
|
Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
|
|
type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
|
|
|
|
Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
|
|
coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
|
|
pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
|
|
hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
|
|
100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
|
|
100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
|
|
cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
|
|
[the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
|
|
Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
|
|
|
|
If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
|
|
an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
|
|
say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from

<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
|
|
to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.
|

Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the

PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a

reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
|
|
local machines. 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
|
|
<file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. 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 (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)

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.

the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.

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

synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
