CONFIG_MACVTAP: MAC-VLAN based tap driver

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_MACVTAP has multiple definitions:

MAC-VLAN based tap driver found in drivers/net/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_MACVTAP:

• prompt: MAC-VLAN based tap driver
• type: tristate
• depends on: ( CONFIG_MACVLAN ) && ( CONFIG_INET )
• defined in drivers/net/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 3.9–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.12, 6.13-rc+HEAD
• modules built: macvtap

Help text

This adds a specialized tap character device driver that is based on the MAC-VLAN network interface, called macvtap. A macvtap device can be added in the same way as a macvlan device, using 'type macvtap', and then be accessed through the tap user space interface.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called macvtap.
