- ptys are independent of whether or not Ethernet hardware is installed.
-
- If you want to use sockets (something completely different), and you don't
- have the interface board, you probably want to use a network pseudo-address
- of 127.0.0.1, which is the software loopback interface.
-
- You need to have the ether software loadable driver loaded.
-
- You might also want to edit ether.rc (in /etc/lddrv) as it will exit early
- if the Ethernet board isn't installed. Look at what this shell script does
- and decide for yourself.
-
- If you want to compile network programs, you'll need the header files in
- /usr/ethernet/include, and the library archive file /usr/lib/libnet.a.
-
- You may find Wollongong's implementation lacking in some respects...
