[patch] Aranym Slirp driver
Hello M68k porters,
I would like to offer some fast machines for use as buildds to help
clear the package backlog. Unfortunately I don't have any root access
on these machines.
I have ported over the Slirp userspace ethernet driver from BasiliskII
into Aranym. Slirp takes in ethernet packets, decaps them, and
manages proxy TCP connections on the host OS. I am not a good C
programmer and I wrote it using the "monkey see, monkey do" method.
The driver is not ready for prime-time, but works acceptably for now.
On some machines it works in excess of 120kB/sec. (On other machines,
it crashes spectacularly.)
Would anyone like to help test/improve this patch?
Assuming they're wanted/needed, can anyone help me set up the buildds?
You can get the patch here. Remember to 'autoreconf' before building.

Thanks much.
