Hello Vivek, I am sorry that you have had to wait for my answer, but I
have been away on vacation the last three weeks.

I found in some distribution scripts the method newLan that I use to
create a lan. For example:

   set lan [$ns newLan $nodelist $opt(bw) $opt(delay) \
	    -llType LL -ifqType $opt(ifq) \
	    -macType $opt(mac) -chanType $opt(chan)]


I also think the method addNode can be usefull:
	
$lan addNode [list $node($newnode)]  $opt(bw) $opt(delay) $opt(ll) $opt(ifq) $opt(mac) $opt(ll)

Visualization of lans in nam doesn't seem to be working at the
moment. But I haven't had time to compile the latest version since I
came back.
