| This directory contains generic network interface device drivers that |
| do not contain any hardware or architecture specific code. The files |
| are: |
| |
| etharp.c |
| Implements the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) over |
| Ethernet. The code in this file should be used together with |
| Ethernet device drivers. Note that this module has been |
| largely made Ethernet independent so you should be able to |
| adapt this for other link layers (such as Firewire). |
| |
| ethernetif.c |
| An example of how an Ethernet device driver could look. This |
| file can be used as a "skeleton" for developing new Ethernet |
| network device drivers. It uses the etharp.c ARP code. |
| |
| loopif.c |
| An example network interface that shows how a "loopback" |
| interface would work. This is not really intended for actual |
| use, but as a very basic example of how initialization and |
| output functions work. |
| |
| slipif.c |
| A generic implementation of the SLIP (Serial Line IP) |
| protocol. It requires a sio (serial I/O) module to work. |
| |
| ppp/ Point-to-Point Protocol stack |
