Myself and Ashish are working on a library (libroute) that basically abstracts out the various interfaces offered by different kernels to interact with routing tables, etc.. Currently NetworkManager uses libnl [1], which is a wrapper over the Linux kernel's PF_NETLINK socket interface, but its entirely Linux specific. So libroute will have a backend for PF_NETLINK (using libnl), one for PF_ROUTE, and so on. Once we have the required functionality, we intend to modify NetworkManager so that it calls libroute instead of libnl. The initial code is available here: git://bombadil.infradead.org/~rishi/inetutils.git (see libroute/ and route/) I must say that libroute is still in the initial stages of developement. :-) Interested? Happy hacking, Debarshi [1] http://people.suug.ch/~tgr/libnl _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
