First of all, I'm not sure if this is the correct mailing list to post this message in, if it isn't just delete and I apologize. I've been working on a Ethernet-simulator driver. It 'creates' 8 ethernet devices which are connected two by two. Each of the devices of each pair can send and receive packets from the other one. It also 'loses' packets from time to time. Transmission and reception statistics are always updated and it also keeps track of the 'lost' packages. The idea behind this driver is to develop some routing and similar practices in university laboratories using only one machine; as not everyone can afford having 4 machines and a router for each student. If anyone wants to test this driver or thinks he might find it useful, drop me a line and I'll send you a copy. Please note that I'm just a student and both my networking & kernel knowledge are quite limited.
