virtual network driver(tap/tun) is supported on QNX6.4.1?   
Hi, everyone.I read the source code about io-pkt that ported from NetBSD.The virtual network driver is supported on 
NetBSD.The tap/tun source code included in the io-pkt source code .But maybe the tap/tun isn't supported on QNX 6.4.1.I 
want to know the actual status. Thanks!

They're not currently supported.  They're on my 'nice to
have list' currently.  I'd be interested in hearing about
your use case.

Sean,

I've got a potential use case... 

We're developing an application which will receive slip frames from an external device.  From what I understand, "
slattach" and friends was not ported and is not supported by QNX because it is too old and crusty.  For our application,
 we chose it for exactly that reason.  We don't need to complexity of ppp and want to minimize the code on the other 
side of the link. 

I'm exploring ways to get the IP frames into the network stack and think that a tun device may do the trick.

Hi Shi,

TAP driver for QNX is available now. It supports both TCP/IP and QNET networking. It is in testing stage now. Follow by 
the link to obtain beta version of the driver:

http://forum.kpda.ru/index.php/topic,179.0.html

It will be nice to see any comments. ;-}

Respectfully,
Oleg

Oleg,

Hope you're still following this thread... 

I tried to follow your link to the tun/tap code and could not find it.  I'm interested in utilizing a tap device to 
inject slip frames into the stack and would love to give your code a try.

Hi Kenneth,

At this point only registered users can download the beta version of TAP 
driver. Also I can email it. We are interested to get feedbacks on this 
driver.

Oleg,

Thank you very much for your response.  I'd very much appreciate the opportunity to test your driver with our 
application.

Outside of posting to this thread, e-mail is probably the best way to exchange the code.  Please e-mail to: kfurge@
nospam.com.  Replace "nospam" with "harman".

Unless you tell me otherwise, I will feedback to you through this thread.

Again thanks.

- K.C.
