You do this by writing a program that translates the remote host name to an internet name and then does the SIOCSIFDSTADDR ioctl on the device. A netstat, -i I believe, will then show that you have set that address. Typically, you need to set the destination address before you do the ifconfig. In the ifconfig, you need to also disable arp (-arp) and trailers (-trailers) if you aren't using them. Finally, the DMC driver that comes with 4.2 is not as good as a more recent one from Bill Nesheim from Cornell (bill@cornell.arpa). Contact siemens!jcc for a copy of the destination setting program and bill@cornell.arpa for a better driver. Have faith - they do work.
