any other computer at all.

packet: nlmon: virtual netlink monitoring device for packet sockets
Currently, there is no good possibility to debug netlink traffic that
is being exchanged between kernel and user space. Therefore, this patch
implements a netlink virtual device, so that netlink messages will be
made visible to PF_PACKET sockets. Once there was an approach with a
similar idea [1], but it got forgotten somehow.
I think it makes most sense to accept the "overhead" of an extra netlink
net device over implementing the same functionality from PF_PACKET
sockets once again into netlink sockets. We have BPF filters that can
already be easily applied which even have netlink extensions, we have
RX_RING zero-copy between kernel- and user space that can be reused,
and much more features. So instead of re-implementing all of this, we
simply pass the skb to a given PF_PACKET socket for further analysis.
Another nice benefit that comes from that is that no code needs to be
changed in user space packet analyzers (maybe adding a dissector, but
not more), thus out of the box, we can already capture pcap files of
netlink traffic to debug/troubleshoot netlink problems.
Also thanks goes to Thomas Graf, Flavio Leitner, Jesper Dangaard Brouer.

This is a driver for the General Instrument (also known as
|
|
|
|
NextLevel) SURFboard 1000 internal
|
|
|
|
cable modem. This is an ISA card which is used by a number of cable
|
|
|
|
TV companies to provide cable modem access. It's a one-way
|
|
|
|
downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link is
|
|
|
|
provided by your regular phone modem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At present this driver only compiles as a module, so say M here if
|
|
|
|
you have this card. The module will be called sb1000. Then read
|
|
|
|
<file:Documentation/networking/README.sb1000> for information on how
|
|
|
|
to use this module, as it needs special ppp scripts for establishing
|
|
|
|
a connection. Further documentation and the necessary scripts can be
|
|
|
|
found at:
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't have this card, of course say N.

This driver allows the kernel to act as a Xen network driver
|
|
|
|
domain which exports paravirtual network devices to other
|
|
|
|
Xen domains. These devices can be accessed by any operating
|
|
|
|
system that implements a compatible front end.

The backend driver presents a standard network device
|
|
|
|
endpoint for each paravirtual network device to the driver
|
|
|
|
domain network stack. These can then be bridged or routed
|
|
|
|
etc in order to provide full network connectivity.
