  1/* dummy.c: a dummy net driver
  2
  3	The purpose of this driver is to provide a device to point a
  4	route through, but not to actually transmit packets.
  5
  6	Why?  If you have a machine whose only connection is an occasional
  7	PPP/SLIP/PLIP link, you can only connect to your own hostname
  8	when the link is up.  Otherwise you have to use localhost.
  9	This isn't very consistent.
 10
 11	One solution is to set up a dummy link using PPP/SLIP/PLIP,
 12	but this seems (to me) too much overhead for too little gain.
 13	This driver provides a small alternative. Thus you can do
 14
 15	[when not running slip]
 16		ifconfig dummy slip.addr.ess.here up
 17	[to go to slip]
 18		ifconfig dummy down
 19		dip whatever
 20
 21	This was written by looking at Donald Becker's skeleton driver
 22	and the loopback driver.  I then threw away anything that didn't
 23	apply!	Thanks to Alan Cox for the key clue on what to do with
 24	misguided packets.
