I wrote my own StarMode driver for FreeBSD in the Fall of 1997. It's been available at: http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~karp/humr.tar.gz since then. My StarMode code, HUMR, is superior to STRIP in that it requires *no* hardwired database of IP-to-MAC address mappings--that is, it allows users who don't know each other's MAC addresses to power up near one another and *dynamically* discover the required ARP entries. In essence, HUMR implements ARP over the non-broadcast Metricom medium. John-Mark Gurney has my code, and was looking at committing it to FreeBSD a while back, but I never heard from him in the end. John-Mark: what's the status of this? If he's swamped, anyone else want to take up reviewing my code for commit?? -Brad, karp@eecs.harvard.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
