[HECnet] Sunlink DNA

Tue Oct 2 08:33:17 PDT 2018

Mark,

Are there any other options than you writing code for TME-Linux to be network enabled (re: the BPF thingy)?

Is it possible to create some sort of dummy NIC or some such thing to fool TME into thinking it has a working /dev/bpf0 ?

Thanks

Linux does have a bpf compatibility interface, so I'll see if it can be made to work and follow up with you all. That said, grab TME here: https://people.csail.mit.edu/fredette/tme/tme-0.8.tar.gz
