[Netnice-kernels] Linux/Netnice

[Takashi O. <ta...@cs...>]

dear netnice hackers,

scott has integrated Kartikey's core module and his NNFS module,
and has started debugging.

scott, mr. fujita, who has ported FreeBSD/Netnice onto OpenBSD,
will take care of Netnice Packet Filter, vif_capture.c, and so, please
coordinate well with him. please note that NPF needs to modify both the
core and NNFS. btw, for your testing, you may use "netnice" command in
netnice-2.1/netnice-common/. i think "vifctl" would be also helpful.

fujita-kun, if your time perimts, can you create directories for
linux and put initial files to work on, under netnice-2.1/linux??
scott will take care of the applications, after he finishes the
debugging. but, i think it would really help, if you take over
the setting part. it is also a good idea if you report the latest
status of your OpenBSD.

i would suggest you guys use the ML for coordination so that other
developers may observe your steps.

thanks for your contributions!
