The point others were trying to make is that it appeared you were
asking for help with the wrong solution to your problem. It's not
uncommon for someone to ask a seemingly weird question, and after some
Q&A with others on the list discover that the solution they were trying
to implement was not the correct solution for Mac OS X.
This is the case here. Networking adaptors normally don't do what you
are asking about, so others are trying to understand if your product
has truly unique needs or if you are heading down the wrong path.
I would suggest you ask your question on the MacNetworking list as
well. There are also relevant people there who can comment on how a
networking product such as your can better fit in with the rest of the
OS (proper usage of the System Configuration Framework included).

There's an old proverb that says just about whatever you want it to.
