I'm trying to enable Dummynet in IPFirewall. I'm pretty new to Darwin,
so I may be missing something simple. I downloaded the source for the
IPFirewall kernel extension, added a define for Dummynet (I saw ifdefs
that were checking for Dummynet, so I thought that defining it would fix
the problem), and I recompiled the IPFirewall kext. I then replaced the
one in /System/Library/Extensions with the one I just made. I didn't
really see how to dynamically unload the old one and load up the new
one, so I just rebooted. However, Dummynet is still disabled. What did
I miss? Thanks!
The only thing you missed is that dummynet support is illusory. The
#ifdefs in the code are there to simplify life when pulling in updates
from FreeBSD (i.e., we'd like as few diffs as possible). In order for
dummynet support to work in the firewall (ipfw), there's a fair amount
of work to get the kernel portion of the functionality to work. It's
not just a simple "define and compile" exercise.
