The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_UML_NET_PCAP has multiple definitions:

pcap transport (obsolete) found in arch/um/drivers/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_UML_NET_PCAP:

• prompt: pcap transport (obsolete)
• type: bool
• depends on: ( CONFIG_UML_NET ) && (! CONFIG_MODVERSIONS )

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.

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

If unsure, say N.
