[ts-7000] Getting at layer 2 and layer 1 of Ethernet

["patrioticduo" <>]

Hi TS people,

I am looking at developing a product that will require the ability to
shutdown and bring back up the physical Ethernet ports down under
software control.

And it will also require the ability to pass Ethernet frames while
bypassing the IP stack. In other words, software needs to be able to
bridge Ethernet frames from one port to another and generate frames
and put them onto the Ethernet at will.

Is anyone aware of LINUX being able to do this (I can't imagine it NOT
being able to)? Is there a code base I should be looking at to find
the various calls involved?

Many thanks for any help received.

Mike.
