This patch only moves files to their new locations, before applying the next two patches adding the NTB Abstraction layer. Splitting this patch from the next is intended make distinct which code is changed only due to moving the files, versus which are substantial code changes in adding the NTB Abstraction layer.

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.

'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.

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
