<Arsen>I don't see how that would have any benefits over running programs on a gnu/linux system directly. all of the microkernel benefits apply to running linux drivers as servers

<damo22>youpi: do you know if net routing table is part of the network stack or does something need to be set in the device itself?

<damo22>im trying to replace netdde with rumpnet driver

<youpi>routing is integrally part of the network stack, the device is not involved

<damo22>ok

<damo22>this seems to set the address/netmask/gateway of a card rump_sys_ioctl(socket_afnet, SIOCAIFADDR, &ifa);

<youpi>well, bsd includes a tcp/ip stack so that's not surprising :)

<youpi>but we aren't using it

<damo22>im not sure how to just set that in the device

<damo22>without the tcp/ip stack

<damo22>does the device have a concept of address/netmask/gateway?

<youpi>no

<damo22>oh

<youpi>ethernet cards only have a notion of MAC address

<damo22>this is very strange to me, it should be pretty easy to port the driver then

<youpi>sure

<youpi>it's just that nobody took the time to do it yet
