#########################################

*Start network interface automatically*

Type: ``bool``

Help
====

.. code-block:: none

    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.

Direct dependencies
===================

\ :kconfig:`ETH_NATIVE_POSIX <CONFIG_ETH_NATIVE_POSIX>` && \ :kconfig:`NET_L2_ETHERNET <CONFIG_NET_L2_ETHERNET>`

*(Includes any dependencies from ifs and menus.)*

Defaults
========

No defaults. Implicitly defaults to ``n``.

Kconfig definition
==================



At ``<Zephyr Driver>/ethernet/Kconfig.native_posix:14``

Included via ``Kconfig:8`` → ``Kconfig.zephyr:42`` → ``<Zephyr Driver>/Kconfig:20`` → ``<Zephyr Driver>/ethernet/Kconfig:54``
