- I just stumbled over the dlpi interface supplied with AIX 3.2. As I have
- quite a few network tracing utilities that work with DLPI I though I could
- attempt to get them running. The info document is a bit thin on data link
- providers, they refer to the specific provider documentation for address
- formats. But info does not find anything on the dlpi drivers in /dev/dlpi
- (en, et and tr on my system). Does anybody has any more information on
- the sap formats used by DL_BIND on these devices? Also I would be interested
- if DL_PROMISCON_REQ is supported.
