I was just trying to point out why you probably didn't have that file.  If you 
want to look at the code Ben's referenced, then you'll want to look at more 
recent code.  However, 1.2 introduced an extra abstraction layer that makes 
porting it to hardware easier, but the code became quite a bit more 
complicated.  If you want something easier to hack on, then you may be better 
off with what you have.

I don't know anything about Mininet.
