   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.
