+Warning: this test requires root access to configure a number of bridge, macvlan and
+vlan devices. Please take a look at configure file. By the time you are finished testing,
+you'll probably have to reboot the computer to get your networking subsytem
+back to normal.
+
+Limitations - to be investigated and fixed:
+        - the test is assuming an eth0 wired interface to be present
+        - using netstat and ifconfig - this needs to be moved to iproute2 utilities
+        - configure script inserts an entry in system netfilter configuration
+        - the test will probably not work on grsecurity settings
+        - macvlan interfaces don't seem to work correctly under VirtualBox
+
+Run the test:
+        $ sudo ./configure
+        $ ./network.sh | grep TESTING
