Hello,

I will be receiving ethernet packets via RS422. I want to send these
packets, unmodified, out my 3com ethernet card.

Do I still need to parse out the packet headers and recreate it using
sockets at the application level?

Or is there a way to bypass the stack and send it out the ethernet
card?
