A network driver, eh?
Linux doesn't support streams. Linux doesn't use mbuf's -- there's
an article in Linux Journal and the KHG
<http://www.redhat.com:8080/HyperNews/get/khg.html> written by Alan
Cox which covers the basics of how Linux network device drivers work.
Linux uses kmalloc(), among other functions, to allocate kernel
memory.
For more information, please subscribe to the linux-kernel list.
Send mail to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu with the line
subscribe linux-kernel
as the first line of the message (not the subject!). Then send
mail to linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu
