Hi!

	Is there any utility in NetBSD where by I can create and send
Ethernet packets through interface to test the driver?

Thanks and regards

Make sure you have ifp->if_ioctl set to a callout in
your driver which calls ether_ioctl() by default.
ether_ioctl() sets ifp->if_sadl when handling SIOCSIFADDR.
