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