This may be some software I wrote a long time ago.
I'm no longer actively involved with LiS, so things
may have changed, or my memory may be wrong.

Please beware the I never got the TCP transport to
work properly. It crashed the kernel under load.
Someone else may have fixed that, I don't know.

I don't remember writing a Config file for this. Instead
I manually created the character nodes. You can find the
major node numbers in the driver source.

Yes. I never got this driver integrated into LiS. If it
had been integrated, the right place for it would be
drivers/str/linux/.
To compile, the driver needs the LiS compile configuration
and some LiS include files. So I set up the driver build
so that it should work if the driver source is located in a
directory next to the LiS source.

I hope this helps.


Best Regards,

Ole Husgaard.


P.S: If anybody has the time to integrate this driver into
LiS, please feel free to do it. Same goes for the LiS IPX
router that I wrote years ago.
