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.
For more information, see <http://wiki.virtualsquare.org/>
That site has a good overview of what VDE is and also examples
of the UML command line to use to enable VDE networking.
If you need UML networking with VDE,
say Y.
