Hi folks, We have disc(4) for testing and benchmarking. However, it's a loopback driver, so such things as vlan or bridge cannot attach to it. I needed a similar dummy interface mimicing Ethernet and failed to find a ready solution. I tried ng_eiface+ng_hole, but it just couldn't keep up with gigabit rates. So I knocked up a new dummy driver, edsc(4): Ethernet discard interface. I'd like to commit it if there are no objections. Then it could also serve as the bones of an Ethernet driver for those who study kernel internals or want to write a new driver. -- Yar
