General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_UML_NET_PCAP has multiple definitions:

pcap transport found in arch/um/Kconfig.net

The configuration item CONFIG_UML_NET_PCAP:

• prompt: pcap transport
• type: bool
• depends on: CONFIG_UML_NET
• defined in arch/um/Kconfig.net
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.14–2.6.39, 3.0–3.9, 3.10-rc+HEAD

Help text

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 http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/networking.html That site has examples of the UML command line to use to enable this option.

If you intend to use UML as a network monitor for the host, say Y here. Otherwise, say N.
