General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_UML_NET has multiple definitions:

Virtual network device found in arch/um/drivers/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_UML_NET:

• prompt: Virtual network device
• type: bool
• depends on: (none)
• defined in arch/um/drivers/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 4.19–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.12, 6.13-rc+HEAD

Help text

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.
