 *
 * sends packets to Linux via Universal TUN/TAP device.
 *
 * =d
 *
 * Hands packets to the ordinary Linux protocol stack.
 * Expects packets with Ethernet headers.
 * 
 * You should probably give Linux IP packets addressed to
 * the local machine (including broadcasts), and a copy
 * of each ARP reply.
 *
 * ToHost requires an initialized FromHost with the same DEVNAME.
 *
 * IPv4 packets should have a destination IP address corresponding
 * to DEVNAME, and a routable source address. Otherwise Linux will silently
 * drop the packets.
 *
 * =h drops read-only
 *
 * Reports the number of packets ToHost has dropped because they had a null
 * device annotation.
