Kris:
I am the author of the kernel patches for 3.0/3.1. The changes to add sync
support work with a driver for our sync adapter. The driver install included
a patch that added the new IOCTL call. This should have been included with
the ppp kernel patches.
I created, tested and attached a patch against ppp-2.3.8 that adds the
IOCTL patch (ttycom.h) to the ppp-2.3.8 kernel install. I will also forward
this
patch to Paul Mackerras for inclusion with the ppp package.
The original intent was to add these patches and our driver to freebsd,
such that the kernel install would not be necessary for 3.2+,
but all of my submissions and queries have been pretty much ignored.
(Poul-Henning Kamp said he would look into it, but that was some time ago).
So until there is some way to submit drivers for inclusion with FreeBSD,
the patches remain the only alternative.
