[uClinux-dev] Transmit ethernet testframes

[Crane, Matthew]

Hi, 

Is the packet interface suitable for your purpose?   First configuration item under "Networking options" in the kernel.

CONFIG_PACKET:                                                                                                                                       
  │ The Packet protocol is used by applications which communicate                 
  │ directly with network devices without an intermediate network                                                                                        
  │ protocol implemented in the kernel, e.g. tcpdump.  If you want them                                                                                  
  │ to work, choose Y.

Hi folks,

i have to send ethernet testframes with a specified multicast mac 
address as destination address. I know that i have to deliver the 
frameinformation (destination, source, vlan ...)to the fec transmit 
fifo, but i thought that there certainly must be a file in uClinux where 
i deliver the data to a structure and uClinux does all the necassary rest.
So far i did?t manage to find the thing that manages the transmission.
Has somebody a hint for me how to manage the data delivery within 
uClinux, or can somebody tell me where i should look.

I am using the cobra5329 eval-board with uClinux 2.6.17.

Thanks for any help
