   1 /* dummy.c: a dummy net driver
   2 
   3         The purpose of this driver is to provide a device to point a
   4         route through, but not to actually transmit packets.
   5 
   6         Why?  If you have a machine whose only connection is an occasional
   7         PPP/SLIP/PLIP link, you can only connect to your own hostname
   8         when the link is up.  Otherwise you have to use localhost.
   9         This isn't very consistent.
  10 
  11         One solution is to set up a dummy link using PPP/SLIP/PLIP,
  12         but this seems (to me) too much overhead for too little gain.
  13         This driver provides a small alternative. Thus you can do
  14         
  15         [when not running slip]
  16                 ifconfig dummy slip.addr.ess.here up
  17         [to go to slip]
  18                 ifconfig dummy down
  19                 dip whatever
  20 
  21         This was written by looking at Donald Becker's skeleton driver
  22         and the loopback driver.  I then threw away anything that didn't
  23         apply!  Thanks to Alan Cox for the key clue on what to do with
  24         misguided packets.
