- These are the protocols used on the Internet and on most local
- Ethernets. It is highly recommended to say Y here (this will enlarge
- your kernel by about 400 KB), since some programs (e.g. the X window
- system) use TCP/IP even if your machine is not connected to any
- other computer. You will get the so-called loopback device which
- allows you to ping yourself (great fun, that!).

-
- If you say Y here and also to "/proc file system support" and
- "Sysctl support" below, you can change various aspects of the
- behavior of the TCP/IP code by writing to the (virtual) files in
- /proc/sys/net/ipv4/*; the options are explained in the file
- <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt>.

- Short answer: say Y.

There is no reason to expose turning off TCP/IP networking. If networking is enabled force TCP/IP to enabled. This also eliminates the time chasing down errors with bogus configurations generated by 'make randconfig' For testing, it is still possible to edit Kconfig Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
