hi devs
I have spend some time, and wrote very simple NET device module for 2.4 kernels. It does allocate certain number of paired net interfaces named tola%d , where for instance: tola(N*2)<->tola(N*2)+1
anything you send to tola0, appears on tola1, and the other way around, same for all Ns.
http://podgorze.pl/~gj/tola.tar.bz2 (~2kb)
there are few issues however. First of all, I am not able to allocate more than 50 pairs (the param is at the top of the source - int nrofi; ). Secondly, every once in a while it crashes badly on unload, and frankly - I have no idea why.
Once again, this is 2.4.X module! The reason being, we are using here only 2.4 series for networking for various reasons that I don't want to get into now. I do appriciate any help or hints regarding this module please.
