- Can someone tell me where to look to learn about ifnet devices and the
- iflayer, and Sun's device drivers? I am setting up a link over Sun's HSI/S
- high speed serial board. I am considering TCP/IP/PPP on top of the board
- but I need to do some special coding since, in my case, the HSI/S recv data
- may become corrupted and turn random. I have a feeling PPP is the best
- place to code in tolerance for this condition until the channel can be
- restored. Any info much appreciated.
