bsd_comp.o).
Load command:
/sbin/modprobe bsd_comp.o
No module parameters.
Depends on ppp.o
slhc.o).Routines to compress and uncompress tcp packets (for transmission over low speed serial lines).
Required by SLIP and PPP (also ISDN-PPP) protocols.
Load command:
/sbin/modprobe slhc.o
No module parameters.
8390.o).This is the chip-specific code for many 8390-based ethernet adaptors.
This is not a complete driver, it must be combined with board-specific
code such as ne.o, wd.o, 3c503.o, etc.
Load command:
/sbin/modprobe 8390.o
No module parameters.
dummy.o).This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
Load command:
/sbin/modprobe dummy.o
No module parameters.
eql.o). If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use SLIP (= the protocol for sending internet traffic over telephone lines) or PPP (= a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like one double speed connection using this driver.
Load command:
/sbin/modprobe eql.o
No module parameters.
dlci.o).This is support for the frame relay protocol; frame relay is a fast
low-cost way to connect to a remote internet access provider or to
form a private wide area network. The one physical line from your
box to the local "switch" (i.e. the entry point to the frame relay
network) can carry several logical point-to-point connections to
other computers connected to the frame relay network. For a general
explanation of the protocol, check out
http://frame-relay.indiana.edu/4000/4000index.html on the WWW.
To use frame relay, you need supporting hardware (FRAD) and certain
programs from the net-tools package as explained in
Documentation/networking/framerelay.txt.
Load command:
/sbin/modprobe dlci.o
No module parameters.
sdla.o).This is a driver for the Sangoma S502A, S502E and
S508 Frame Relay Access Devices. These are multi-protocol
cards, but only frame relay is supported by the driver at this
time. Please read Documentation/networking/framerelay.txt.
Load command:
/sbin/modprobe sdla.o
No module parameters.
Depends on dlci.o
plip.o).PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a mini
network consisting of two (or, rarely, more) local machines. The
parallel ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are
connected using "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can
transmit 4 bits at a time or using special PLIP cables, to be used
on bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
time (you can find the wiring of these cables in
drivers/net/README?.plip). The cables can be up to 15m long. This
works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows and has some PLIP
software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet driver
http://sunsite.cnam.fr/packages/Telnet/PC/msdos/misc/pktdrvr.txt
and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
Load command:
/sbin/modprobe plip.o io=0x378 irq=7
io = 0
irq = 0 (by default, uses IRQ 5 for port at 0x3bc,
IRQ 7 for port at 0x378,
and IRQ 2 for port at 0x278)
(Probes ports: 0x278, 0x378, 0x3bc)
ppp.o).To use PPP you need an additional program called pppd as described
in Documentation/networking/ppp.txt and in the PPP-HOWTO,
available from sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO.
Load command:
/sbin/modprobe ppp.o
No module parameters.
Depends on slhc.o
Also depends on serial.o, this is not detected automatically,

slip.o).SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) is the protocol used to send Internet traffic over telephone lines or serial cables (also known as nullmodems).
Load command:
/sbin/modprobe slip.o
slip_maxdev = 256 (default value from SL_NRUNIT on slip.h)
Depends on slhc.o
Also depends on serial.o, this is not detected automatically,
so serial.o must be loaded manually.
baycom.o).This is a driver for Baycom style simple amateur radio
modems that connect to either a serial interface or a parallel
interface. The driver supports the ser12 and par96 designs. To
configure the driver, use the setbaycom utility available from
http://www.ife.ee.ethz.ch/~sailer/ham/ham.html#lnxbay. For
informations on the modems, see http://www.baycom.de and
drivers/char/README.baycom.

and for par96/par97 7
options 0=use hardware DCD, 1=use software DCD
strip.o).STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project (http://mosquitonet.stanford.edu/) to send Internet traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are small, battery powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about the size and weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard them called "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because it misleads many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom modem into a phone line and use it as a modem.) You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers.
Load command:

in full-duplex mode using its 100baseTx transceiver.

The management tool lets you watch the performance graphically, as well as set the SNMP agent IP and IPX addresses, IEEE Spanning Tree, and Aging time. These can also be set from the command line when the driver is loaded.
There is also a companion management tool, called "xrightswitch".
