Interesting. Do you have diffs that I could work off of? As I'm still
learning the driver code, I'd be interested to see what modifications you
made...

Hmmm...perhaps it would be a fair assumption to say that all processes
will be sending and receiving the same types of frames? Then you could do
some simple process accounting (assuming that each process sends a packet
before receiving one...perhaps not always valid) and send the correct
frames to each process.
