Subject: Using net_devices with ATM/DSL
Date: Sun, 12 Dec 2010 22:53:07 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D05C2D3.7010306@redfish-solutions.com> (raw)

I was trying to get this discussion rolling on linux-atm-general but didn't have much luck.

I was wondering what the downside to having ATM/DSL interfaces use net_devices would be?

Part of the reason for wanting to do this is to have an end-point to send/receive netlink messages to, so that the interface can report carrier state transitions, bit rates, bit-error rates, SNR, attenuation, constellations, transmitter gain, etc.

Seems simple enough.

Why not do this?

Thanks,

-Philip
