[coLinux-devel] Network bridging without the TAP driver

[Dan A. <da...@gm...>]

Modularization of the conet daemon opens new doors for us.

A feature can be added that allows coLinux's eth0 to be bridged
into a real NIC adapater in Windows without using the TAP driver,
and in a platform independent manner, that may ease up the 
installation of coLinux.

libpcap can turn on an interface's promiscuous mode, allowing 
the reception of packets for other MACs. It also allows the
transmission of raw packets from the NIC.

It think it would be possible to use this functionallity for 
bridging, and perhaps one of you can volunteer to code it.
