10	  You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
11	  any other computer at all.
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.

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

98	  intended to replace SCSI.
99
100	  If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
101	  adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
