No, I think this is independent of HW. In fact, I was able to put
together an extremely simple device driver module that hooks generic
HDLC networking to a generic TTY device and it seems to work just fine.
But I hijacked the HDLC line discipline, which isn't cool. I think
this is a pretty useful thing because it allows HDLC WAN connections
using ANY TTY serial port. The ends of my serial link are completely
different cards but they both support TTY, whic his very cool because
I'm using the exact same module on both ends!
I've never submitted anything to the kernel before, but I think others
might find this useful. All I need is a new standard line discipline
(N_HDLC_TTY). What is the process (i.e. where do I find the FAQ for
submissions)?
