Will the simlink driver support public properties for ethernet/wifi? One nice feature would be if it would do something reasonable for popular public properties like mtu, so that our test suites can be used to test property handling through various permutations of vlan/vnic/etc. combinations. Frequently the test machines available when running these tests do not have the hardware support for some of these features. Also in this vein, it would be nice to be able to configure the simlink driver to simulate different types of hardware (e.g., set it up in 10G mode, no-jumboframe mode etc.) --Sowmini _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
