Basically, you get a queue of packets in the driver that you can read from a file descriptor and write to a different file descriptor to simulate reception by a peer. You can then make the user space part probabilistically drop packets or whatever you like (I have code for this too). I'm not sure how well this meets your use case but I can post patches if you're interested. -- Bob Copeland %% www.bobcopeland.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
