Actually my interest is for using it at the mobile node.

I was also hoping that someone could answer a quick question about the
code.
I was thinking that the netgraph nodes that represent the network
interfaces,
forward packets to the drivers and let them do framing and control etc.
But I can't seem to find any call to ether_output() or even packets being
queued at if_snd. How does the ng_ether node actually cause transmission
on the wire?

Cheers,
