| Exactly, and vmware distribution have the sources of this driver.
| But this module consisted from one source file, in this file
| implemented three devices, and one file node in the linux procfs.
| Of course this file _very_ linux specific.

The bochs port implements a pseudo-ne2000 using BPF under FreeBSD, is
this approach a possibility? The freebsd ether stuff from bochs has
Peter Grehan (grehan@iprg.nokia.com) on the copyright so he'd be the 
one to contact about the availability of (parts of) his code to use in 
a port I suppose.

It does have some limitations (can't send packets to the host/os) but
I don't know how complete the code is either.

Kevin Lawton (the bochs author) is working on his own vmware type system
as well, they're still in an experimental mode though.
