Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

+# UML virtual driver
+config UML_NET
+ bool "Virtual network device"
+ help
+ 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/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.
+
+config UML_NET_ETHERTAP
+ bool "Ethertap transport"
+ depends on UML_NET
+ help
+ The Ethertap User-Mode Linux network transport allows a single
+ running UML to exchange packets with its host over one of the
+ host's Ethertap devices, such as /dev/tap0. Additional running
+ UMLs can use additional Ethertap devices, one per running UML.
+ While the UML believes it's on a (multi-device, broadcast) virtual
+ Ethernet network, it's in fact communicating over a point-to-point
+ link with the host.
+
+ To use this, your host kernel must have support for Ethertap
+ devices. Also, if your host kernel is 2.4.x, it must have
+ CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV configured as Y or M.
+
+ For more information, see
+ <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/networking.html> That site
+ has examples of the UML command line to use to enable Ethertap
+ networking.
+
+ If you'd like to set up an IP network with the host and/or the
+ outside world, say Y to this, the Daemon Transport and/or the
+ Slip Transport. You'll need at least one of them, but may choose
+ more than one without conflict. If you don't need UML networking,
+ say N.
+
+config UML_NET_TUNTAP
+ bool "TUN/TAP transport"
+ depends on UML_NET
+ help
+ The UML TUN/TAP network transport allows a UML instance to exchange
+ packets with the host over a TUN/TAP device. This option will only
+ work with a 2.4 host, unless you've applied the TUN/TAP patch to
+ your 2.2 host kernel.
+
+ To use this transport, your host kernel must have support for TUN/TAP
+ devices, either built-in or as a module.
+
+config UML_NET_SLIP
+ bool "SLIP transport"
+ depends on UML_NET
+ help
+ The slip User-Mode Linux network transport allows a running UML to
+ network with its host over a point-to-point link. Unlike Ethertap,
+ which can carry any Ethernet frame (and hence even non-IP packets),
+ the slip transport can only carry IP packets.
+
+ To use this, your host must support slip devices.
+
+ For more information, see
+ <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/networking.html>. That site
+ has examples of the UML command line to use to enable slip
+ networking, and details of a few quirks with it.
+
+ The Ethertap Transport is preferred over slip because of its
+ limitations. If you prefer slip, however, say Y here. Otherwise
+ choose the Multicast transport (to network multiple UMLs on
+ multiple hosts), Ethertap (to network with the host and the
+ outside world), and/or the Daemon transport (to network multiple
+ UMLs on a single host). You may choose more than one without
+ conflict. If you don't need UML networking, say N.
+
+config UML_NET_DAEMON
+ bool "Daemon transport"
+ depends on UML_NET
+ help
+ This User-Mode Linux network transport allows one or more running
+ UMLs on a single host to communicate with each other, but not to
+ the host.
+
+ To use this form of networking, you'll need to run the UML
+ networking daemon on the host.
+
+ For more information, see
+ <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/networking.html> That site
+ has examples of the UML command line to use to enable Daemon
+ networking.
+
+ If you'd like to set up a network with other UMLs on a single host,
+ say Y. If you need a network between UMLs on multiple physical
+ hosts, choose the Multicast Transport. To set up a network with
+ the host and/or other IP machines, say Y to the Ethertap or Slip
+ transports. You'll need at least one of them, but may choose
+ more than one without conflict. If you don't need UML networking,
+ say N.
+
+config UML_NET_MCAST
+ bool "Multicast transport"
+ depends on UML_NET
+ help
+ This Multicast User-Mode Linux network transport allows multiple
+ UMLs (even ones running on different host machines!) to talk to
+ each other over a virtual ethernet network. However, it requires
+ at least one UML with one of the other transports to act as a
+ bridge if any of them need to be able to talk to their hosts or any
+ other IP machines.
+
+ To use this, your host kernel(s) must support IP Multicasting.
+
+ For more information, see
+ <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/networking.html> That site
+ has examples of the UML command line to use to enable Multicast
+ networking, and notes about the security of this approach.
+
+ If you need UMLs on multiple physical hosts to communicate as if
+ they shared an Ethernet network, say Y. If you need to communicate
+ with other IP machines, make sure you select one of the other
+ transports (possibly in addition to Multicast; they're not
+ exclusive). If you don't need to network UMLs say N to each of
+ the transports.
+
+config UML_NET_PCAP
+ bool "pcap transport"
+ depends on UML_NET && BROKEN
+ help
+ 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/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.
+
+config UML_NET_SLIRP
+ bool "SLiRP transport"
+ depends on UML_NET
+ help
+ The SLiRP User-Mode Linux network transport allows a running UML
+ to network by invoking a program that can handle SLIP encapsulated
+ packets. This is commonly (but not limited to) the application
+ known as SLiRP, a program that can re-socket IP packets back onto
+ the host on which it is run. Only IP packets are supported,
+ unlike other network transports that can handle all Ethernet
+ frames. In general, slirp allows the UML the same IP connectivity
+ to the outside world that the host user is permitted, and unlike
+ other transports, SLiRP works without the need of root level
+ privleges, setuid binaries, or SLIP devices on the host. This
+ also means not every type of connection is possible, but most
+ situations can be accomodated with carefully crafted slirp
+ commands that can be passed along as part of the network device's
+ setup string. The effect of this transport on the UML is similar
+ that of a host behind a firewall that masquerades all network
+ connections passing through it (but is less secure).
+
+ To use this you should first have slirp compiled somewhere
+ accessible on the host, and have read its documentation. If you
+ don't need UML networking, say N.
