+ tristate "Virtual netlink monitoring device"
+ ---help---
+ This option enables a monitoring net device for netlink skbs. The
+ purpose of this is to analyze netlink messages with packet sockets.
+ Thus applications like tcpdump will be able to see local netlink
+ messages if they tap into the netlink device, record pcaps for further
+ diagnostics, etc. This is mostly intended for developers or support
+ to debug netlink issues. If unsure, say N.
