11 any other computer at all.

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

391 This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
392 NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
393 cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
394 TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
395 downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
396 provided by your regular phone modem.
397
398 At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
399 you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
Jakub Kicinskib255e502018-12-03 17:43:28 -0800400 <file:Documentation/networking/device_drivers/sb1000.txt> for
401 information on how to use this module, as it needs special ppp
402 scripts for establishing a connection. Further documentation
403 and the necessary scripts can be found at:

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