Really should be posted to comp.os.vxworks -> but Oh well.....


I am trying to get slip running under VxWorks and I am having a few 
problems:  So

 1) Does anybody have slip running under VxWorks, and can give me the source?
    (Why re-invent the wheel :-).

 2) Or can somebody help me with the following problem:

I am at the stage where I can receive IP packets, handle them then pass them
up to higher levels ( via ipintr() )

However, my output routine (registered in the ifnet structure) NEVER gets
called, and after several attempted IP connections (to and from the host) I
get "panic: netJobAdd ring full ...".

From this I conclude that IP output routines are meant to be called
from the netTask, (is this correct?) and somehow I have stopped
netTask from running (how could I do this? it is READY when i querry it
and all my tasks are lower priority???).

Anybody have experience with this sort of stuff????
Anyway to examine the queue for the netTask????
