Just out of curiosity, is there ANY reason why this has to be done in the
kernel? The PPPoATM module for pppd implements (via linux-atm) a completely
userspace ATM decoder.. if anything, now redundant ATM stack code should be
REMOVED from Linux!
Most distributions (to my knowledge) supporting the speedtouch modem do so
using the method prescribed on speedtouch.sf.net; an entirely userspace
procedure. pppd does all the ATM magic.
Does this have real-world applications beyond the Speedtouch DSL modems? If
not, I propose adding this code to linux-atm, not the kernel, since most
users of USB speedtouch DSL modems will not be using the kernel's ATM.
