Hello, I need my char device driver to have support for socket interface. Basically i need to establish 2 connections on the char device i have. So to identify the packets coming on each connection on my char device, i need to have a socket interface, something similar to the AF_WANPIPE sock support for the sangoma sync serial cards.
