config ATALK
tristate "Appletalk protocol support"
select LLC
---help---
AppleTalk is the protocol that Apple computers can use to communicate
on a network. If your Linux box is connected to such a network and you
wish to connect to it, say Y. You will need to use the netatalk package
so that your Linux box can act as a print and file server for Macs as
well as access AppleTalk printers. Check out
<http://www.zettabyte.net/netatalk/> on the WWW for details.
EtherTalk is the name used for AppleTalk over Ethernet and the
cheaper and slower LocalTalk is AppleTalk over a proprietary Apple
network using serial links. EtherTalk and LocalTalk are fully
supported by Linux.
General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>. The
NET-3-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable
information as well.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called appletalk. You almost certainly want to compile it as a
module so you can restart your AppleTalk stack without rebooting
your machine. I hear that the GNU boycott of Apple is over, so
even politically correct people are allowed to say Y here.
config DEV_APPLETALK
bool "Appletalk interfaces support"
depends on ATALK
help
AppleTalk is the protocol that Apple computers can use to communicate
on a network. If your Linux box is connected to such a network, and wish
to do IP over it, or you have a LocalTalk card and wish to use it to
connect to the AppleTalk network, say Y.
config LTPC
tristate "Apple/Farallon LocalTalk PC support"
depends on DEV_APPLETALK && (ISA || EISA) && ISA_DMA_API
help
This allows you to use the AppleTalk PC card to connect to LocalTalk
networks. The card is also known as the Farallon PhoneNet PC card.
If you are in doubt, this card is the one with the 65C02 chip on it.
You also need version 1.3.3 or later of the netatalk package.
This driver is experimental, which means that it may not work.
See the file <file:Documentation/networking/ltpc.txt>.
config COPS
tristate "COPS LocalTalk PC support"
depends on DEV_APPLETALK && (ISA || EISA)
help
This allows you to use COPS AppleTalk cards to connect to LocalTalk
networks. You also need version 1.3.3 or later of the netatalk
package. This driver is experimental, which means that it may not
work. This driver will only work if you choose "AppleTalk DDP"
networking support, above.
Please read the file <file:Documentation/networking/cops.txt>.
config COPS_DAYNA
bool "Dayna firmware support"
depends on COPS
help
Support COPS compatible cards with Dayna style firmware (Dayna
DL2000/ Daynatalk/PC (half length), COPS LT-95, Farallon PhoneNET PC
III, Farallon PhoneNET PC II).
config COPS_TANGENT
bool "Tangent firmware support"
depends on COPS
help
Support COPS compatible cards with Tangent style firmware (Tangent
ATB_II, Novell NL-1000, Daystar Digital LT-200.
config IPDDP
tristate "Appletalk-IP driver support"
depends on DEV_APPLETALK && ATALK
---help---
This allows IP networking for users who only have AppleTalk
networking available. This feature is experimental. With this
driver, you can encapsulate IP inside AppleTalk (e.g. if your Linux
box is stuck on an AppleTalk only network) or decapsulate (e.g. if
you want your Linux box to act as an Internet gateway for a zoo of
AppleTalk connected Macs). Please see the file
<file:Documentation/networking/ipddp.txt> for more information.
If you say Y here, the AppleTalk-IP support will be compiled into
the kernel. In this case, you can either use encapsulation or
decapsulation, but not both. With the following two questions, you
decide which one you want.
To compile the AppleTalk-IP support as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called ipddp.
In this case, you will be able to use both encapsulation and
decapsulation simultaneously, by loading two copies of the module
and specifying different values for the module option ipddp_mode.
config IPDDP_ENCAP
bool "IP to Appletalk-IP Encapsulation support"
depends on IPDDP
help
If you say Y here, the AppleTalk-IP code will be able to encapsulate
IP packets inside AppleTalk frames; this is useful if your Linux box
is stuck on an AppleTalk network (which hopefully contains a
decapsulator somewhere). Please see
<file:Documentation/networking/ipddp.txt> for more information. If
you said Y to "AppleTalk-IP driver support" above and you say Y
here, then you cannot say Y to "AppleTalk-IP to IP Decapsulation
support", below.
config IPDDP_DECAP
bool "Appletalk-IP to IP Decapsulation support"
depends on IPDDP
help
If you say Y here, the AppleTalk-IP code will be able to decapsulate
AppleTalk-IP frames to IP packets; this is useful if you want your
Linux box to act as an Internet gateway for an AppleTalk network.
Please see <file:Documentation/networking/ipddp.txt> for more
information. If you said Y to "AppleTalk-IP driver support" above
and you say Y here, then you cannot say Y to "IP to AppleTalk-IP
Encapsulation support", above.
