Hello Leon,
could you please write a new email (no reply) to l4-hackers@os.inf.tu-dresden.de in case you want to start a new thread. This a way it's easier to track which issue is discussed.

Hi all,
I was informed that FLIPS currently only support the Intel eepro100 NIC.
Q1: If FLIPS implements the DDE shouldn't it be possible to use any driver?
To tell the truth, FLIPS does not really "support" eepro100 NICs. FLIPS is a port of the Linux 2.4 TCP/IP stack to L4. "flips-lxdrv" is just a simple toy to get it working on real hardware - my test box. You are free to hack other drivers into flips/server/lib-lxdrv.
There exists a package that uses dde_linux to run Linux NIC drivers on L4, but unfortunately it's not in our public CVS up to now.
Q2: If so where in the code would you configure FLIPS to use such a driver?
(see above) I think you have to hack a bit to get it running. Which NIC do you want to use (Linux driver file)? Maybe I could help you.
