12
13	  You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
14	  you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
15	  telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
16	  two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
17	  AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.
