uml_switch uses the interface for routing ethernet packets which has 
noting to do with device drivers (the standard tun device driver is used).
I wouldn't say, that uml switch is badly documented. The code is 
straight forward and well written (I had to understand it to program my 
replacement uml_switch2 (http://www.uxu.ch/uxu/software/uml_switch2)

I fear, you need to replace the daemon uml-networkadapter with something 
more powerful. By the way, Jeff has some ideas for additional changes in 
the uml-networkadapter that you could implement too ;-)
