If you don't need to network UMLs say N to each of + the transports. + +config UML_NET_PCAP + bool "pcap transport" + depends on UML_NET + help + The pcap transport makes a pcap packet stream on the host look + like an ethernet device inside UML.

Otherwise, say N. + +config UML_NET_SLIRP + bool "SLiRP transport" + 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 + the 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 + privleges, 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). + + To use this you should first have slirp compiled somewhere + accessible on the host, and have read its documentation. If you + don't need UML networking, say N. + + Startup example: "eth0=slirp,FE:FD:01:02:03:04,/usr/local/bin/slirp" + +endmenu |
