Thats what I'm hoping. Larry actually has (from what I remember) most of an IBM tokenring hardware driver written and was wondering where to plug it into the kernel. Those bits don't exist yet (they would be the equivelent of ether_input() and ether_output() IIRC.) We need some direction from the architects on how we should lay things out so we get all the benefits from the 802.2 LLC code. (802.3, IPX frames over same, NetBEUI etc). I've got a fuzzy picture in my head but it would certainly be helpful to direct this discussion and get proper feedback. /* Matthew N.
