How to Add socket interface to char devices

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

 



Hello,

I have written a char device driver in linux for the High Speed Serial 
Interface(HSSI) of IXP425. I need to add a socket interface to the HSSI 
driver inorder to support multiple connections on the device., similar to 
the sangoma drivers (AF_WANPIPE). Inorder to do that should i register a 
separate address family in the file socket.h ?. Can anyone tell me the 
steps to add support for  socket Interface?


I appreciate any inputs on this.

Thanks
Vanitha
