plip: Move the PLIP driver 



Move the Parallel Line Internet Protocol (PLIP) driver into
drivers/net/plip/ and make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.

	  PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a

	  reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)

	  local machines.  A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to

	  install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a

	  CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies

	  first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option

	  enabled for this to work.



	  The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1.  The parallel

	  ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected

	  with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4

	  bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on

	  bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a

	  time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in

	  <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>.  The cables can be up to

	  15m long.  Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows

	  and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet

	  driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)

	  and winsock or NCSA's telnet.



	  If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well

	  as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from

	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.  Note that the PLIP

	  protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together

	  with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x.  This option enlarges

	  your kernel by about 8 KB.



	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module

	  will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy

	  a laptop later.
