Say Y here if you have an Alteon AceNIC, 3Com 3C985(B), NetGear
GA620, SGI Gigabit or Farallon PN9000-SX PCI Gigabit Ethernet
adapter. The driver allows for using the Jumbo Frame option (9000
bytes/frame) however it requires that your switches can handle this
as well. To enable Jumbo Frames, add `mtu 9000' to your ifconfig

NAPI is a new driver API designed to reduce CPU and interrupt load
when the driver is receiving lots of packets from the card. It is
still somewhat experimental and thus not yet enabled by default.
If your estimated Rx load is 10kpps or more, or if the card will be
deployed on potentially unfriendly networks (e.g. in a firewall),

Enabling this gives an improvement in processing time in parts
of the driver, but it may cause problems with EISA (DEFEA)

HIgh Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) is a 800Mbit/sec and

can run over copper (25m) or fiber (300m on multi-mode or 10km on
single-mode). HIPPI networks are commonly used for clusters and to
connect to super computers. If you are connected to a HIPPI network

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
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. 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 and read
<file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>. The module will be
called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy a laptop
later.

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.tldp.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.
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 and read <file:Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt>.
The module will be called ppp_generic.
config PPP_MULTILINK

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"

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

a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.

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

Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses

(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
