If CONFIG_MODE_TT is disabled, then this option gives you the ability

config NET

+ help
+ Unless you really know what you are doing, you should say Y here.
+ The reason is that some programs need kernel networking support even
+ when running on a stand-alone machine that isn't connected to any
+ other computer. If you are upgrading from an older kernel, you
+ should consider updating your networking tools too because changes
+ in the kernel and the tools often go hand in hand. The tools are
+ contained in the package net-tools, the location and version number
+ of which are given in Documentation/Changes.
+
+ For a general introduction to Linux networking, it is highly
+ recommended to read the NET-HOWTO, available from
+ <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

This option enables UML SMP support. UML implements virtual SMP by
allowing as many processes to run simultaneously on the host as
will appear to be running simultaneously. If the host is a
multiprocessor, then UML processes may run simultaneously, depending
on the host scheduler.
