Hi,
I don't really understand what you mean with "a process to pretending a functional network interface". If you are looking for a way to have something that looks like a network interface without real hardware, you should look at "dummy" module.
On ma machine, I use:
ifconfig dummy0 192.168.1.1 up
to set up such an interface.
Hope this helps -- Joseph Bueno - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
