Down producer

I’d like to make a down producer that deals directly with ethernet
packets, and talks directly to the ethernet driver.

The traditional setup:

TCP/IP
||
en<->ip converter
||
en

Desired setup:

My down producer
||
en

Is there any problem with doing this?

Unfortunatly, you can’t do that. Since “en” above is a “up producer”,
you can’t connect 2 producers togetner. What you have to do, is:
create a “my type <-> en” converter, and regist your down producer
is a “mytype down producer”
