Well, it's been a while since I last did anything with DLPI (and that
largely consisted of using some sample code from Sun to make some stuff
to give access to the raw network, on Solaris, to a program at NetApp
which is basically our appliance software, running as a UNIX program,
using files as simulated disk and the OS's "raw network access"
mechanism, in promiscuous mode with a packet filter looking for
particular MAC addresses, as a simulated network interface, for testing
and debugging purposes), but I did manage to dig up copies of Neal's
paper on using DLPI, and his sample code.

One place where some DLPI papers (a DLPI spec, and a "converting stuff
that used STREAMS NIT to use DLPI paper), and that sample code, can be
found is in the "tar" archive at

	http://sunsite.lanet.lv/ftp/sun-info/development-tools/dltest.tar.Z

(and probably other places - look for "dltest"), and Neal Nuckolls' "How
to use DLPI" paper can be found at

	http://www.polito.it/~bogdan/dlpi/howtouseDLPI.psgz

(and possibly other places).
