To name two: - Matthias Drochner has extended native mode atm sockets for datagram use, implemented ILMI, is playing with signaling, and also has a driver for a DEC ATM adaptor. Given Matthias activity I am hoping that he can coordinate future changes and updates to this code as I am very short on time these days. - Jason Thorpe is writing a device driver for the FORE 200 ATM adaptor as part of a project he has going at his place of work. is that the kind of info you are interested in? maybe you can talk to Matthias a bit so that everyone might be able to work together? chuck From owner-freebsd-atm Mon Sep 9 14:00:03 1996 Return-Path: owner-atm Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id OAA18876 for atm-outgoing; Mon, 9 Sep 1996 14:00:03 -0700 (PDT) Received: from plains.nodak.edu (tinguely@plains.NoDak.edu [134.129.111.64]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id NAA18838 for ; Mon, 9 Sep 1996 13:59:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from tinguely@localhost) by plains.nodak.edu (8.7.5/8.7.3) id PAA18514 for freebsd-atm@freebsd.org; Mon, 9 Sep 1996 15:59:47 -0500 (CDT) Date: Mon, 9 Sep 1996 15:59:47 -0500 (CDT) From: Mark Tinguely Message-Id: <199609092059.PAA18514@plains.nodak.edu> To: freebsd-atm@freebsd.org Subject: NetBSD NIC support, from Freebsd newsgroup Sender: owner-atm@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk From chuck@ccrc.wustl.edu Mon Sep 9 15:48:51 CDT 1996 From: chuck@ccrc.wustl.edu (Chuck Cranor) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Re: FreeBSD and ATM NICs Date: 6 Sep 1996 17:40:31 -0500 Organization: Washington University, St. Louis MO.

I have a PC with a ISA and >PCI bus (Compaq Deskpro) Yes. The NetBSD and OpenBSD ATM stuff should also work under FreeBSD. At least I had ported it to FreeBSD a few months ago and submitted it for inclusion in FreeBSD (but no one ever got back around to doing it so I guess there is no interest in it from the FreeBSD front, oh well). Currently we have a driver for the Efficient Networks PCI ATM card. It also works for the SBus Sparc version (but only on the sun4c since I didn't address the issues with the IOMMU). There is a Fore driver in the works also, and there is a DEC driver that someone ported, but I don't remember the details off the top of my head. For source code, check ftp://dworkin.wustl.edu/dist/bsd and get bsdatm1.2.tar.gz and midway.c.1.62.gz. cheers, chuck
