1*7323adacSDevin TeskeThis screen allows you to set up your general network parameters
2*7323adacSDevin Teske(hostname, domain name, DNS server, etc) as well as the settings for a
3*7323adacSDevin Teskegiven interface (which was selected from the menu before this screen).

5*7323adacSDevin TeskePLIP/SLIP users - please read through to the end of this doc!
6*7323adacSDevin Teske
7*7323adacSDevin TeskeThe "options" field is kind of special (read: a hack :-):
8*7323adacSDevin Teske
9*7323adacSDevin TeskeAny valid options to ifconfig can be specified here, so if you need
10*7323adacSDevin Tesketo do something "special" to get your interface working, then here
11*7323adacSDevin Teskeis the place to do it.
12*7323adacSDevin Teske
13*7323adacSDevin TeskeIf you're running SLIP or PLIP, you also need to use it for specifying
14*7323adacSDevin Teskethe remote end of the link (simply type the foreign IP address in).
15*7323adacSDevin TeskeIn the specific case where you're running PLIP with a Linux host peer
16*7323adacSDevin Teskerather than a FreeBSD one, you also must add the "-link0" flag after the
17*7323adacSDevin Teskeforeign address.
18*7323adacSDevin Teske
19*7323adacSDevin TeskeIf you're dealing with an ethernet adaptor with multiple media
20*7323adacSDevin Teskeconnectors (e.g. AUI, 10BT, 10B2, etc), you can use this field to
21*7323adacSDevin Teskespecify which one to use.  Examples of valid strings include:
22*7323adacSDevin Teske
23*7323adacSDevin Teske        "media 10base5/AUI" - Select the AUI port.
24*7323adacSDevin Teske        "media 10baseT/UTP" - Select the twisted pair port.
25*7323adacSDevin Teske        "media 10base2/BNC" - Select the BNC connector.
26*7323adacSDevin Teske        "media 100baseTX"   - Select 100BaseT on a 100/10 dual adaptor.
27*7323adacSDevin Teske
28*7323adacSDevin TeskeIf you have a wireless interface and must specify arguments such as a
29*7323adacSDevin TeskeWEP key here, you may use something like:
30*7323adacSDevin Teske
31*7323adacSDevin Teske	"wepmode on wepkey 0xFEEDFACE"
32*7323adacSDevin Teske
33*7323adacSDevin TeskeWhen you're done with this form, select OK.
