1This screen allows you to set up your general network parameters
2(hostname, domain name, DNS server, etc) as well as the settings for a
3given interface (which was selected from the menu before this screen).
4
5PLIP/SLIP users - please read through to the end of this doc!
6
7The "options" field is kind of special (read: a hack :-):
8
9Any valid options to ifconfig can be specified here, so if you need
10to do something "special" to get your interface working, then here
11is the place to do it.
12
13If you're running SLIP or PLIP, you also need to use it for specifying
14the remote end of the link (simply type the foreign IP address in).
15In the specific case where you're running PLIP with a Linux host peer
16rather than a FreeBSD one, you also must add the "-link0" flag after the
17foreign address.
18
19If you're dealing with an ethernet adaptor with multiple media
20connectors (e.g. AUI, 10BT, 10B2, etc), you can use this field to
21specify which one to use.  Examples of valid strings include:
22
23        "media 10base5/AUI" - Select the AUI port.
24        "media 10baseT/UTP" - Select the twisted pair port.
25        "media 10base2/BNC" - Select the BNC connector.
26        "media 100baseTX"   - Select 100BaseT on a 100/10 dual adaptor.
27
28If you have a wireless interface and must specify arguments such as a
29WEP key here, you may use something like:
30
31	"wepmode on wepkey 0xFEEDFACE"
32
33When you're done with this form, select OK.
