Is there any kind of tutorials on using generic-hdlc interfaces? I just want to make a simple point-to-point connection between two devices using ixp4xx_hss. I would like the data to be packetized using hdlc. So... The questions are... - I suppose I should use sethdlc to configure the interface, but I am not sure about the configuration except that I should set "hdlc" protocol (I hope). - Then I should "open" the interface. I am trying with "ifconfig hdlc0 up", but I obtain an "ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Function not implemented". As my previous use of net devices has been using ethernet or wifi devices in an "IP world", I am not quite sure if ifconfig should be used in this case. - Then I hope that I should open a raw (SOCK_RAW) PF_PACKET socket with protocol IPPROTO_RAW? I am not using IP, so this does not seem to be the correct protocol, but... - And the address to sendto the data? Should it be formed just using the name of the interface or it requires more data? Thanks. I know these should be really newbie questions, but I am finding difficult to know how to manage a "serial" device using a netdev interface.
