config DUMMY
tristate "Dummy net driver support"
depends on NETDEVICES
---help---
This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
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
kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
Administrator's Guide, available from
<http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#guide>.
If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>. The module
will be called dummy.o. If you want to use more than one dummy
device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
Instead of 'dummy', the devices will then be called 'dummy0',
'dummy1' etc.
config SLIP
tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
depends on NETDEVICES
---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
<ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) 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
<http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>, 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
<http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt> as well as
<file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
called slip.o.
config SLIP_COMPRESSED
bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
depends on SLIP
---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
<ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) 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
<http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
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 PPP
tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
depends on NETDEVICES
---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
<http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
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.
This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
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. The module will be called ppp_generic.o.
If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read

lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.

tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
depends on NETDEVICES && Q40 && PARPORT
---help---
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>)
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

receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
via physical media writes them to the user space program.
When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
all routes corresponding to it.

config PPP
tristate "PPP (point-to-point protocol) support"
depends on NETDEVICES
---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
<http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
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.
This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
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. The module will be called ppp_generic.o.
If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read
<file:Documentation/modules.txt> as well as
<file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
config PPP_ASYNC
tristate "PPP support for async serial ports"

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.
This code is also available as a module (code which can be inserted
into and removed from the running kernel). If you want to compile
it as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
If unsure, say Y.
config PPP_SYNC_TTY

it as a module, say M here and read
<file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
config PPP_DEFLATE
tristate "PPP Deflate compression"

---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.
This code is also available as a module (code which can be inserted
into and removed from the running kernel). If you want to compile
it as a module, say M here and read
<file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
config PPP_BSDCOMP
tristate "PPP BSD-Compress compression"
depends on NETDEVICES && PPP!=n && m
---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.o and will show up in the directory
modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.
config SLIP
tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
depends on NETDEVICES
---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
<ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) 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
<http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>, 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
<http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt> as well as
<file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
called slip.o.
config SLIP_COMPRESSED
bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
depends on SLIP
---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
<ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) 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
<http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
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.
