I am working on a network device driver that is currently forced to talk to it'self (RX/TX cables are looped back into it) and I am trying to get the system to not use the loopback interface but send the packets to my driver. I have cleared the net.link.ether.inet.useloopback sysctl variable but the packets still never get to my driver. Is there something else that I must do? Note that although my driver is not for ethernet (it's for a GSN adapter), I use nearly all of the ethernet code in the kernel, so I am guessing that this sysctl variable would apply to my case. My system is 4.2-stable as of about Jan 10th Thanks, Bob -- Bob Willcox Egotist, n.: bob@vieo.com A person of low taste, more interested in himself than me.
