-config UML_NET
- bool "Virtual network device"
- help
- While the User-Mode port cannot directly talk to any physical
- hardware devices, this choice and the following transport options
- provide one or more virtual network devices through which the UML
- kernels can talk to each other, the host, and with the host's help,
- machines on the outside world.
-
- For more information, including explanations of the networking and
- sample configurations, see
- <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/networking.html>.

- If you'd like to be able to enable networking in the User-Mode
- linux environment, say Y; otherwise say N. Note that you must
- enable at least one of the following transport options to actually
- make use of UML networking.

-config UML_NET_ETHERTAP
- bool "Ethertap transport (obsolete)"
- depends on UML_NET
- help
- The Ethertap User-Mode Linux network transport allows a single
- running UML to exchange packets with its host over one of the
- host's Ethertap devices, such as /dev/tap0. Additional running
- UMLs can use additional Ethertap devices, one per running UML.
- While the UML believes it's on a (multi-device, broadcast) virtual
- Ethernet network, it's in fact communicating over a point-to-point
- link with the host.
-
- To use this, your host kernel must have support for Ethertap
- devices. Also, if your host kernel is 2.4.x, it must have
- CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV configured as Y or M.
-
- For more information, see
- <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/networking.html> That site
- has examples of the UML command line to use to enable Ethertap
- networking.
-
- NOTE: THIS TRANSPORT IS DEPRECATED AND WILL BE REMOVED SOON!!! Please
- migrate to UML_NET_VECTOR.
-
- If unsure, say N.

-config UML_NET_TUNTAP
- bool "TUN/TAP transport (obsolete)"
- depends on UML_NET
- help
- The UML TUN/TAP network transport allows a UML instance to exchange
- packets with the host over a TUN/TAP device. This option will only
- work with a 2.4 host, unless you've applied the TUN/TAP patch to
- your 2.2 host kernel.
-
- To use this transport, your host kernel must have support for TUN/TAP
- devices, either built-in or as a module.
-
- NOTE: THIS TRANSPORT IS DEPRECATED AND WILL BE REMOVED SOON!!! Please
- migrate to UML_NET_VECTOR.
-
- If unsure, say N.

-config UML_NET_SLIP
- bool "SLIP transport (obsolete)"
- depends on UML_NET
- help
- The slip User-Mode Linux network transport allows a running UML to
- network with its host over a point-to-point link. Unlike Ethertap,
- which can carry any Ethernet frame (and hence even non-IP packets),
- the slip transport can only carry IP packets.
-
- To use this, your host must support slip devices.

- help
- This User-Mode Linux network transport allows one or more running
- UMLs on a single host to communicate with each other, but not to
- the host.
-
- To use this form of networking, you'll need to run the UML
- networking daemon on the host.

help
This User-Mode Linux network driver uses multi-message send
and receive functions. The host running the UML guest must have
a linux kernel version above 3.0 and a libc version > 2.13.
- This driver provides tap, raw, gre and l2tpv3 network transports
- with up to 4 times higher network throughput than the UML network
- drivers.

- select MAY_HAVE_RUNTIME_DEPS
- help
- This User-Mode Linux network transport allows one or more running
- UMLs on a single host to communicate with each other and also
- with the rest of the world using Virtual Distributed Ethernet,
- an improved fork of uml_switch.
+ This driver provides tap, raw, gre and l2tpv3 network transports.
- You must have libvdeplug installed in order to build the vde
- transport into UML.
-
- To use this form of networking, you will need to run vde_switch
- on the host.

- For more information, see <http://wiki.virtualsquare.org/>
- That site has a good overview of what VDE is and also examples
- of the UML command line to use to enable VDE networking.

-config UML_NET_MCAST
- bool "Multicast transport (obsolete)"
- depends on UML_NET
- help
- This Multicast User-Mode Linux network transport allows multiple
- UMLs (even ones running on different host machines!) to talk to
- each other over a virtual ethernet network. However, it requires
- at least one UML with one of the other transports to act as a
- bridge if any of them need to be able to talk to their hosts or any
- other IP machines.
-
- To use this, your host kernel(s) must support IP Multicasting.

-config UML_NET_SLIRP
- bool "SLiRP transport (obsolete)"
- depends on UML_NET
- help
- The SLiRP User-Mode Linux network transport allows a running UML
- to network by invoking a program that can handle SLIP encapsulated
- packets. This is commonly (but not limited to) the application
- known as SLiRP, a program that can re-socket IP packets back onto
- he host on which it is run. Only IP packets are supported,
- unlike other network transports that can handle all Ethernet
- frames. In general, slirp allows the UML the same IP connectivity
- to the outside world that the host user is permitted, and unlike
- other transports, SLiRP works without the need of root level
- privileges, setuid binaries, or SLIP devices on the host. This
- also means not every type of connection is possible, but most
- situations can be accommodated with carefully crafted slirp
- commands that can be passed along as part of the network device's
- setup string. The effect of this transport on the UML is similar
- that of a host behind a firewall that masquerades all network
- connections passing through it (but is less secure).

- NOTE: THIS TRANSPORT IS DEPRECATED AND WILL BE REMOVED SOON!!! Please
- migrate to UML_NET_VECTOR.
