Is there a virtual device that would allow to connect the communication paths from the physical devs into the kernel netlink subsystem in a way that would be more flexible than what is currently avaible?

Something like this:

Kernel-netlink

virtual dev
|
--> mapper/conf <--
|
physical dev(s)

tun/tap,bridge,bond... are devs that incorporate this idea, but don't allow for a flexible configuration.

I have some other types of virtual (ethernet-ish) interfaces, but I have
no idea what you are really asking....

Please explain in more detail.

Thanks,
Ben
