instead, why don't you create a simulated ethernet device
that adds in a delay before sending the packet along to a
real ethernet device.
the only trick will be getting the simulated ethernet to
grab the real ethernet during setup. i imagine that you'll
need something like
ether0=type=fake
fake=real=#l1/ether1 i=10 iσ=20 o=5 oσ=0
in plan9.ini
