8 | help |
9 | If you want to connect your Linux box to an amateur radio, answer Y |
10 | here. You want to read <http://www.tapr.org/tapr/html/pkthome.html> |
11 | and more specifically about AX.25 on Linux |
12 | <http://www.linux-ax25.org/>. |
13 | |
14 | Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the |
15 | kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all |
16 | the questions about amateur radio. |

23 | depends on HAMRADIO |
24 | help |
25 | This is the protocol used for computer communication over amateur |
26 | radio. It is either used by itself for point-to-point links, or to |
27 | carry other protocols such as tcp/ip. To use it, you need a device |
28 | that connects your Linux box to your amateur radio. You can either |
29 | use a low speed TNC (a Terminal Node Controller acts as a kind of |
30 | modem connecting your computer's serial port to your radio's |
31 | microphone input and speaker output) supporting the KISS protocol or |
32 | one of the various SCC cards that are supported by the generic Z8530 |
33 | or the DMA SCC driver. Another option are the Baycom modem serial |
34 | and parallel port hacks or the sound card modem (supported by their |
35 | own drivers). If you say Y here, you also have to say Y to one of |
36 | those drivers. |
37 | |
38 | Information about where to get supporting software for Linux amateur |
39 | radio as well as information about how to configure an AX.25 port is |
40 | contained in the AX25-HOWTO, available from |
41 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You might also want to |
42 | check out the file <file:Documentation/networking/ax25.txt> in the |
43 | kernel source. More information about digital amateur radio in |
44 | general is on the WWW at |
45 | <http://www.tapr.org/tapr/html/pkthome.html>. |

47 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the |
48 | module will be called ax25. |

50 | config AX25_DAMA_SLAVE |

52 | default y |
53 | depends on AX25 |
54 | help |
55 | DAMA is a mechanism to prevent collisions when doing AX.25 |
56 | networking. A DAMA server (called "master") accepts incoming traffic |
57 | from clients (called "slaves") and redistributes it to other slaves. |
58 | If you say Y here, your Linux box will act as a DAMA slave; this is |
59 | transparent in that you don't have to do any special DAMA |
60 | configuration. Linux cannot yet act as a DAMA server. This option |
61 | only compiles DAMA slave support into the kernel. It still needs to |
62 | be enabled at runtime. For more about DAMA see |
63 | <http://www.linux-ax25.org>. If unsure, say Y. |
