No, I'm sure there's no way to find that size but through the serial port
reception.
I've already tried to totally replace the serial driver (by using inb and outb
in the serial adress map) but it proves to be not fast enought (it worked à
9600 bauds, but not at 115200 : I miss some PDU) ; so I've turned to use the
kernel serial driver. Do you think I have to go way back and try to
accelerate my treatment (I thought the kernel driver would be the fastest and
most accurate) ?

Because there's no application ! In fact, there are two flow through that
driver : one is IP and the other is CCSDS (spatial protocols) ; I have to be
_totally_ transparent to IP flow, and add CCSDS above. That's the reason why
I've chosen to use the network stack.
