Hello,
Even on the risk of proving to be stupid, shouldn't it be possible to
define an ether address for the dummy device? And wouldn't it be possible
as well to define proxy arp addresses based on a PPP/SLIP connection and
the dummy "Hardware Interface"?
Not that I need it... But I didn't succeed in defining either the hardware
address (nor any rarp address).
