2 /* dummy.c: a dummy net driver
3 
4 	The purpose of this driver is to provide a device to point a
5 	route through, but not to actually transmit packets.
6 
7 	Why?  If you have a machine whose only connection is an occasional
8 	PPP/SLIP/PLIP link, you can only connect to your own hostname
9 	when the link is up.  Otherwise you have to use localhost.
10 	This isn't very consistent.
11 
12 	One solution is to set up a dummy link using PPP/SLIP/PLIP,
13 	but this seems (to me) too much overhead for too little gain.
14 	This driver provides a small alternative. Thus you can do
15 
16 	[when not running slip]
17 		ifconfig dummy slip.addr.ess.here up
18 	[to go to slip]
19 		ifconfig dummy down
20 		dip whatever
21 
22 	This was written by looking at Donald Becker's skeleton driver
23 	and the loopback driver.  I then threw away anything that didn't
24 	apply!	Thanks to Alan Cox for the key clue on what to do with
25 	misguided packets.
