Is it possible to use the nit interface to WRITE to the ethernet? I have read the man pages on nit, nit-if and nit-buf. I have used the example (READ ONLY) and it works. I have tried to use sockets and streams to write to the ethernet with NO luck. I have used the write, send, sendto and sendmsg functions. All of these functions return a good return code BUT when I look on the network with e Sniffer nothing is coming from my port. Does anyone have ACTUAL experience using the nit commands? I have talked to numerous people (includeing Sun ) who claim it is possible but have not actually done it. Thanks in advance. Dave.
