+To configure networking and more, refer to the user mode linux documentation online.
+A quick start goes along this line.  install the uml-utilities packages so you have
+the uml switch in and running, then add a command param to your uml start like this
+
+eth0=daemon,00:01:01:01:01:01,unix,/<your uml switch control socket here>
+
+With that in, and uml networking actually functional (can be a challenge at times),
+you should be able to ifconfig the interface and talk to the host side, or, if you
+bridged the uml switch to your host network, you should be able to run udhcp and be
+away with networking off to the world.  Again, if you are unfamiliar with uml and
+uml networking, please read the docs and how-to stuff available on the net.  It does
+take some fiddling to get it started and working right the first time, but after that,
+it opens up a whole new world of virtual machines.
