I don't know. At any case we are need provide the same API as linux vmnet provide, so we are need to implement it in the kernel module.

At this time I found the next message (it was posted more than 3 years ago at the freebsd-hackers mailing list): http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=661424+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/1996/freebsd-hackers/19961020.freebsd-hackers It's a very long URL but I hope that it's possible to retrieve it. At least you can search via its subject: Networking in PCEMU (1/2) I don't study this code, but it looking not so bad. > > Kevin Lawton (the bochs author) is working on his own vmware type system > as well, they're still in an experimental mode though. Yes. I looking to this project, named as freemware. Their URL: http://www.freemware.org/ But this code very experimental. And to develop such kind of software are need to have steal nerves. I fill that, at the time when I was porting vmware. I have too much hours of very interested work - load driver, launch vmware and then looking into the DDB double fault screen. Reload box, and then again. -- Vladimir Silyaev To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
