The web page doesn't say where to get the switch daemon.
It's not on the networking page, or in the howto, it's not in the kernel tarball, and the download page just links to
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/networking.html#switch
Let's see, the uml_net link from the download page (the difference between that and uml_switch is...?) links to a generic page about CVS, which isn't installed on my laptop. (Subversion is, but doesn't help here.) Ok, a web browsing link... No tarball. Ok, maybe it's one source file I can get and compile, ala ifenslave...
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/user-mode-linux/tools/net/
Ok, so:
A) None of the files in this directory have changed in over four years, yet there is no tarball.
B) None of them is obviously the switch daemon.
I think I'll put UML networking back on the TODO list and go do something else...

Let's see. On the downloads page, there is a utilities section which says something about uml_switch. Grabbing that tarball shows me a directory called uml_router (which is probably the problem - that's the old name before people clued me in that I hadn't really implemented a router) with something called uml_switch.c in it. Building that might give you something called uml_switch.

I never found a utilities tarball. (I looked for a while.)
I ended up following the link to CVS, wandering around in there for a bit until I found the uml_router directory (at which point I remembered reading about the old name) doing a right-click save-as on the "download" link of the .c file, then grabbing the .h files it couldn't find, then grabbing port.c and hash.c too... Then it built.
I'll look again for the tarball next time I'm online. (Laptop at Einstein's bagels at the moment: no net access.)

Found the tarball. (I thought the grey bar at the very bottom of my screen was the start of the next section, turns out the download links for the tarballs are in a big grey box the size of the screen. Misleading color scheme, that.)
Sorry for the confusion...

I guess that yep, the web-pages are "totally as-is", but uml_utilities is even packaged by your distro... btw, they should even have a security patch for uml_net - it can be called to bring down an iface by any user, for slip usage...
