Hi,
I hope I am on the write place, second try...
I have written a module that loads fake wifi devices (wtap?) and
distributes packets between them. For now I use route command to route
packets between them from upper layers (TCP,...).
I want to take it to next step and create jails with VNET. I started
reading Julian Elischer's "Vimage: what is it?" and he says that if I
am writing hardware drivers I dont need to make any changes when I
enable VIMAGE option on the kernel, because each one will have their
own stack.
I can give a more detailed explanation on how my module works. But for
now I get a panic when calling if_alloc() when using option VIMAGE.
Thank you,
My setup:
FreeBSD Current 201010 guest on VirtualBox on Ubuntu 10.04.
