Add TUNTAP #47

Hi Bastian,

Would this module work with a tun/tap (to have IP stack), instead socket PDU?

Thank you

best regards

It's possible in theory. It's a PHY and it doesn't care what kind of data you put into a frame. The main limitation is that the maximum frame size is quite small, i.e., you'd have to configure a small MTU. One would usually use 6LoWPAN for this. You can have a look at my gr-ieee802-11 project for an example on how to use TUN/TAP with a flowgraph.
