Using Ethernet cards to create arbitrary frames? Herbert Haas 10-26-05

Hi experts, hackers.

Does anybody know if Ethernet NICs can be misused to create
arbitrary frames?

As far as I know, cheap NICs don't create the frame
headers by themselves rather it's the job of the SW-drivers.

I would like to do some experiments in basic data communications...

Thanks for help!

Herbert
