| This directory contains generic network interface device drivers that |
| do not contain any hardware or architecture specific code. The files |
| are: |
| |
| etharp.c |
| Implements the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) over |
| Ethernet. The code in this file should be used together with |
| Ethernet device drivers. Note that this module has been |
| largely made Ethernet independent so you should be able to |
| adapt this for other link layers (such as Firewire). |
| |
| ethernetif.c |
| An example of how an Ethernet device driver could look. This |
| file can be used as a "skeleton" for developing new Ethernet |
| network device drivers. It uses the etharp.c ARP code. |
| |
| loopif.c |
| A "loopback" network interface driver. It requires configuration |
| through the define LWIP_LOOPIF_MULTITHREADING (see opt.h). |
| |
| slipif.c |
| A generic implementation of the SLIP (Serial Line IP) |
| protocol. It requires a sio (serial I/O) module to work. |
| |
| ppp/ Point-to-Point Protocol stack |
| The PPP stack has been ported from ucip (http://ucip.sourceforge.net). |
| It matches quite well to pppd 2.3.1 (http://ppp.samba.org), although |
| compared to that, it has some modifications for embedded systems and |
| the source code has been reordered a bit. |
