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

You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that

you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over

telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting

two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as

WireGuard is a secure, fast, and easy to use replacement for IPSec

designed to be fairly general purpose and abstract enough to fit most

configure. See www.wireguard.com for more info.

This driver provides support for Xen paravirtual network

|
This driver allows the kernel to act as a Xen network driver
|
|
domain which exports paravirtual network devices to other
|
|
Xen domains. These devices can be accessed by any operating
|
|
system that implements a compatible front end.
|
|
|
|
The corresponding Linux frontend driver is enabled by the
|
|
CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND configuration option.

|
|
|
The backend driver presents a standard network device
|
|
endpoint for each paravirtual network device to the driver
|
|
domain network stack. These can then be bridged or routed
|
|
etc in order to provide full network connectivity.
|

If you are compiling a kernel to run in a Xen network driver
|

domain (often this is domain 0) you should say Y here. To

This provides an automated failover mechanism via APIs to create

and destroy a failover master netdev and manages a primary and
|

standby slave netdevs that get registered via the generic failover
|
|
infrastructure. This can be used by paravirtual drivers to enable

an alternate low latency datapath. It also enables live migration of

a VM with direct attached VF by failing over to the paravirtual

datapath when the VF is unplugged.
