CONFIG_ETH_NATIVE_POSIX_STARTUP_AUTOMATIC

Start network interface automatically

Type: bool

Help

If set, the native_posix ethernet driver will set up the network
interface, requiring ``zephyr.exe`` to be run with root privileges
(needed to create and configure the TAP device).
If not set (the default and recommended way), the network interface
must be set up manually using ``net-setup.sh`` (from the net-tools
project repo). The ``zephyr.exe`` program can then be run as a
non-root user.
