I no longer use this package, as I run kernel 2.4.x everywhere and use the
TUN/TAP driver instead.
I request an adopter for the vmnet package.
The package description is:
This program has been written to implement virtual networking
support for the Hercules S/390 simulator, but it is intentionally
generic in its functionality, so any other virtual machine
simulator/emulator program could potentially use it.
.
The function is quite simple:
- The virtual machine simulator program starts VMnet and talks
the SLIP protocol with it over stdin/out.
- VMnet sets up a SLIP connection on the host system, talking over a
pseudo-tty to the VMnet program.
- Once things have been set up, VMnet simply copies the data streams
between stdin/out and the SLIP psuedo-tty in both directions.
Thus, the virtual machine has a direct SLIP connection with the host,
without needing to worry about root privileges, pseudo-ttys, access
rights, etc.
