Implement a bridge between u-boot's network stack and Linux's raw

API allowing the sandbox to send and receive packets using the host machine's network interface.
This raw Ethernet API requires elevated privileges. You can either

as root, or you can add the capability needed like so:
sudo /sbin/setcap "CAP_NET_RAW+ep" u-boot
Can you add a note about thsi in README.sandbox? This seems like a major new feature. It was talked about a few years ago when sandbox was first created.
OK. Can you maybe point me to that conversation so I can understand

I dug around and found this too:

It seems it was more complicated to setup, but may have other benefits (such as being more likely to be able to change MAC address settings eventually).
