I have a wireless basestation that translates ip packets using RC894 encapsulation into IEEE802.2/802.3 encapsulation (RFC1042). Yes..I think that is gross too, but nevertheless I;d like to get it to work. THe host requirements RFC states that a host SHOULD be able to receive RFC894 packets. Currently it seems that FreeBSD does not do that. Yes, there is the ef pseudo-interface but that has no code to handle 802.2/802.3 IP packets (or ARP packets). And besides, I think it should be handled transparently. Is there a way to configure netgraph to handle this correctly? If not, I'm going to implement it in ether_demux(). -Guido To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
