My own drivers (for PCA200 and 155HE) are NATM drivers with three additional ioctl added (to get the QoS values down to the driver) and a couple of ng hooks that hook into ng_atm. From ng_atm you can go to whatever other netgraph module you want. If you don't need signalling (only PVCs), you are done. If you need signalling, well, you need all the other netgraph modules (ng_sscop, ng_uni, ng_ccatm, ...). If you are interested I can send you the drivers and ng_atm to have a look at. harti -- harti brandt, http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/cats/employees/hartmut.brandt/private brandt@fokus.fhg.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-atm" in the body of the message
