ipip.o and new_tunnel.o).Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within

protocol decoder, and new_tunnel.o driver, (this was previously called
tunnel.o and the documentation still refers to this name).
Documentation is found at
/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/README.tunnel.
Load commands:
/sbin/modprobe ipip.o
/sbin/modprobe new_tunnel.o
No module parameters.
ip_alias.o).Sometimes it is useful to give several addresses to a single network interface (= serial port or ethernet card). The most common case is that you want to serve different WWW documents to the outside according to which of your host names they used to connect to you.
Load command:

Homesite for ncpfs is ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/ncpfs,
but sunsite and its many mirrors will have it as well.
Linware's home site is klokan.sh.cvut.cz/pub/linux/linware,
nwserv package Mars_nwe is also on
ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/ncpfs.
Load command:
/sbin/modprobe ipx.o
No module parameters.
appletalk.o).Appletalk is the way Apple computers speak to each other on a network. EtherTalk is the name used for appletalk over ethernet and Localtalk is appletalk over the apple serial links.
Load command:
/sbin/modprobe appletalk.o
