Actually i have no idea.
I momentarily use a linux PF_PACKET socket to do my I/O. I finally managed
binding this thing to an interface (e.g. eth0) and use a single native
method to read info from that socket.
The way i'm thinking about this is that the network interface layer
assembles an ethernet 802.3 frame and then in some magical way (i.e.
through a device driver that might be either Java or native) gets it onto
the network.
I am not making any assumptions yet as on how this exactly will work.
The thing i would like most is of the form
NE2000EthernetDriver.write(byte[]) or (on a slightly higher level)
NE2000EthernetDriver.write(EthernetPacket);
Hope this sort of cleared it up ...
RA.
