The 2.1 you can use the ethertap device that couples an ethernet driver
emulator with an ordinary character device, an alternative that works in
2.0 too is to use SOCK_PACKET to read/write raw packets to a loopback device
sockets. Then write a simple glue driver for your emulator that uses
these usertunnel mechanisms to present a BSD driver to your stack.
