The user-mode port of 2.4.0-test5 is available.
It's been updated to 2.4.0-test5.
For the adventurous, Jim Leu's virtual ethernet driver is now included in the
patch. It basically works, but it's not too hard to use it to truly mess up
the kernel. So, it's not in the binary kernels, and it's off by default in
the configuration until we get the bugs worked out. Once that's happened, I
expect to get rid of the existing slip-based network interface.
This driver is a virtual ethernet interface which communicates with other
virtual machines through an external daemon. It can communicate with the host
through an ethertap device and with a physical ethernet by exchanging raw
packets with the ethernet device.
If you want to play with it, get the user-mode tools and README from the
tools/net directory of the CVS repository at http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_
