Is there any chance you could give me an idea of what needs to be done? As you said, I've tried adding an option for Dummynet to the MASTER file (along with trying to manually define it), but there's definitely more work left. Thanks for your help! The main issue, I believe, in getting dummynet to work is to rewrite its interface with the rest of the kernel to conform to what's called DLIL (the Data Link Interface layer). It's documented, after a fashion and in a somewhat out-of-date form, in the file file://Developer/Documentation/Darwin/Extensions/NKE.pdf. I'd start there, and also look at if_ethersubr.c in the FreeBSD and Darwin kernels to get a feel for what the differences are. That said, it's a significant task. If you undertake it, it will make you stronger :-}. Regards, Justin -- Justin C.
