+ console driver which dumps all printk messages to stderr.
+
+config SSL
+ bool "Virtual serial line"
+ help
+ The User-Mode Linux environment allows you to create virtual serial
+ lines on the UML that are usually made to show up on the host as
+ ttys or ptys.
+
+ See <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/input.html> for more
+ information and command line examples of how to use this facility.
+
+ Unless you have a specific reason for disabling this, say Y.

+config NULL_CHAN
+ bool "null channel support"
+ help
+ This option enables support for attaching UML consoles and serial
+ lines to a device similar to /dev/null. Data written to it disappears
+ and there is never any data to be read.
+
+config PORT_CHAN
+ bool "port channel support"
+ help
+ This option enables support for attaching UML consoles and serial
+ lines to host portals. They may be accessed with 'telnet <host>
+ <port number>'. Any number of consoles and serial lines may be
+ attached to a single portal, although what UML device you get when
+ you telnet to that portal will be unpredictable.
+ It is safe to say 'Y' here.
+
+config PTY_CHAN
+ bool "pty channel support"
+ help
+ This option enables support for attaching UML consoles and serial
+ lines to host pseudo-terminals. Access to both traditional
+ pseudo-terminals (/dev/pty*) and pts pseudo-terminals are controlled
+ with this option. The assignment of UML devices to host devices
+ will be announced in the kernel message log.
+ It is safe to say 'Y' here.
+
+config TTY_CHAN
+ bool "tty channel support"
+ help
+ This option enables support for attaching UML consoles and serial
+ lines to host terminals. Access to both virtual consoles
+ (/dev/tty*) and the slave side of pseudo-terminals (/dev/ttyp* and
+ /dev/pts/*) are controlled by this option.
+ It is safe to say 'Y' here.
+
+config XTERM_CHAN

+ help
+ While the User-Mode port cannot directly talk to any physical

+ 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

+ 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.
+
+ For more information, see

+
+config UML_NET_DAEMON
+ bool "Daemon transport (obsolete)"
+ depends on UML_NET
+ 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.

+ bool "Vector I/O high performance network devices"
+ depends on UML_NET
+ select MAY_HAVE_RUNTIME_DEPS
+ 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.
+
+config UML_NET_VDE
+ bool "VDE transport (obsolete)"
+ depends on UML_NET
+ 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.
+
+ 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.

+
+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.
+
+ 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 Multicast
+ networking, and notes about the security of this approach.

+config UML_NET_PCAP
+ bool "pcap transport (obsolete)"
+ depends on UML_NET
+ select MAY_HAVE_RUNTIME_DEPS
+ help
+ The pcap transport makes a pcap packet stream on the host look
+ like an ethernet device inside UML. This is useful for making
+ UML act as a network monitor for the host. You must have libcap
+ installed in order to build the pcap transport into UML.
+
+ For more information, see

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