It usually means "understand it from the point of view of the job you're applying for", and "know it well enough to be productive/useful without extensive training". If you're applying for a network engineer, it means you understand at least a bit about BGP and routing, how to use wireshark or other tools to look at bits on the wire, identifying nodes that are having issues, etc. If you're applying for a userspace programming job, it means you know how to use gethostbyname(), send()/recv()/ and friends, and how to use OpenSSL to connect to a remote system that wants to talk TLS. If you're doing kernel hacking, it means you understand how all the stuff under net/ works - and that if it says SSL it's time to go running screaming into the night. :)
