belongs to. This is important when we want to implement other network devices
or add support for multiple devices of the same type.
- improved some info messages / removed references to ne2k
- code cleanup: removed unnecessary spaces, changed tabs to spaces
- menu and option names for the network configuration fixed
- NIC init code passes script name to ethernet module init code
- VDE module added to the list of ethernet modules
- constant BX_PACKET_BUFSIZE moved to eth.h
class's prefix, NE2K. The real issue is that the ne2k class exists at
configuration time, so it is possible to tell it how to respond to
panics, errors, etc. The packet mover is created after configuration
depending on the setting of bx_options.ne2k.Oethmod, so I cannot
(with major hacks) affect its settings from the configuration interface.
Several packet movers were already set up this way anyway.
for Linux!!! I tested this using host OS kernel 2.2.14, and was able
to use telnet, ftp, irc, lynx, etc. Because it is a packet filter
solution, you aren't able to talk to the host machine, only to other
machines on the network. The patch itself is in
patches/patch.ethlinux-splite.
