The only sensible desision I've come to is to have split driver:
- USB portion that comes and goes, and
- NET portion that once loaded, will be kept around until the end of the OSX
session.
This makes sense - the NET portion would be like the shim in OS9.
Of course, there are implications: USB portion must be able to discover and
connect to the one and only instance of its NET counterpart, but this is
something that is not hard to implement.
I'm unclear on the mechanics of it though - I'd assume the NET kext
would publish its net interface address, and the USB kext would
publish the address of its output_packet routine, but how? (I know
perfectly well how to do this all on OS9, but in X there's no more
shared memory...)
