Additional options that have to be supplied when the module is loaded. Very ofter this are hardware
parameters such as interrupts, io- or memory addresses or tranceiver types.
Examples: irq=11 io=0x300 ...
Number of local networks connected to your machine.
Other device name than ethX (optional).
IP address of your n'th ethernet card.
Example: 192.168.0.1
Network of your LAN.
Example: 192.168.0.0
Netmask of your LAN.
Example: 255.255.255.0
Your default gateway. A default gateway is the machine that routes network traffic from
and to other networks. Very often this is the router connected to the internet.
Examples: fli4l router ...
Number of additional routes.
Additional route: network netmask gateway
Example: "192.168.7.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.6.99" routes all network traffic related to
network "192.168.7.0/24" to the gateway machine "192.168.6.99"
Your domain name. The local domain your machine is a member of. All unqualified host names
will automatically be expanded with the local domain suffix.
Example: local.network
The IP-Adress of the machine that hosts the DNS-Server of your local network. A DNS-Server
is required to translate host names to IP-Adresses.
Example: "127.0.0.1" the DNS-Server runs on this eisfair server.
Time zone, use "CET" or "GMT"
Shall PCMCIA support be activated on this machine? "yes" or "no"
PCMCIA socket driver: "i82365" or "tcic"
Additional options for the socket driver. Usually empty.
Additional options for the PCMCIA core driver. Usually empty.
Additional options for the PCMCIA card manager. Usually empty.
Additional options for the PCMCIA scheme. Usually empty.

Here you can activate this SYSLOGD job.
Legal-value: yes, no
Default-value: SYSLOGD_DEST_%_SOURCE_%_ACTIVE'='no'
Here can you write the source you will log
Example 1: "*.*" causes all messages to be written to the
specified file.
Example 2: "kern.info" causes messages 'kern.info' to be redirected
to another machine.
Default-value: SYSLOGD_DEST_%_SOURCE_%'='*.*'
