Is user space ldattach required?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a USB stick containing a microcontroller. The microcontroller
is running TCP and can support two interfaces, the radio (802.15.4)
and USB serial. It supports the SLIP protocol (or PPP could be added).

This is not a general purpose serial connection. The only thing you
can do on the serial line without changing the firmware is talk SLIP.
It is a standard USB serial device with a unique device ID.

Can I use a device driver to get the SLIP ldisc attached to the port
or do I have to have a user space helper? I'd prefer ttyUSBx to not
even exist.

Is there a better way to get this device attached to the network stack?
