There is no "packet driver" per se, but I have a modified
version of Phil Karn's "Net" software here that will allow
ham AX25 and tcp/ip networking through a serial port and TNC.
You can also nail up a slip connection through a PTY to the
FreeBSD kernel, which will allow NET to talk to the ethernet
interface used by FreeBSD and server as a router from the
RF network to internet.

There are a couple other packages that will also do this. TNOS
and WAMPES, both variations of Phil's code. TNOS has a web page,
I believe.
