This directory contains generic network interface device drivers that
don't contain any hardware or architecture specific code. The files
are:
etharp.c
Implementes the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) over
Ethernet. The code in this file should be used together with
Ethernet device drivers.
ethernetif.c
An example of how an Ethernet device driver could look. This
file can be used as a "skeleton" for developing new Ethernet
network device drivers. It uses the etharp.c ARP code.
loopif.c
An example network interface that shows how a "loopback"
interface would work. This is not really intended for actual
use, but as a very basic example of how initialization and
output functions work.
slipif.c
A generic implementation of the SLIP (Serial Line IP)
protocol. It requires a sio (serial I/O) module to work.
tcpdump.c
Not a network interface driver, but some code that parses a
TCP/IP packet and outputs printfs in an tcpdump-like
way. Only used for debugging.
