| Travis Geiselbrecht | 1d0df69 | 2008-09-01 02:26:09 -0700 | [diff] [blame^] | 1 | This directory contains generic network interface device drivers that |
| 2 | do not contain any hardware or architecture specific code. The files |
| 3 | are: |
| 4 | |
| 5 | etharp.c |
| 6 | Implements the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) over |
| 7 | Ethernet. The code in this file should be used together with |
| 8 | Ethernet device drivers. Note that this module has been |
| 9 | largely made Ethernet independent so you should be able to |
| 10 | adapt this for other link layers (such as Firewire). |
| 11 | |
| 12 | ethernetif.c |
| 13 | An example of how an Ethernet device driver could look. This |
| 14 | file can be used as a "skeleton" for developing new Ethernet |
| 15 | network device drivers. It uses the etharp.c ARP code. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | loopif.c |
| 18 | An example network interface that shows how a "loopback" |
| 19 | interface would work. This is not really intended for actual |
| 20 | use, but as a very basic example of how initialization and |
| 21 | output functions work. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | slipif.c |
| 24 | A generic implementation of the SLIP (Serial Line IP) |
| 25 | protocol. It requires a sio (serial I/O) module to work. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | ppp/ Point-to-Point Protocol stack |
