To: hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Wed, 7 Oct 1998 16:58:06 +0200 (CEST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL43 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I have two machines connected with two network cards directly together via 10Base2. I would like to send data from one machine two the other without doing IP or any other protocol. What functions in FreeBSD could be used for that without hacking around in the kernel or the network drivers? Is there something like a low-level-open or some ioctl or anything similar?
