Subject: Using net_devices with ATM/DSL

I was trying to get this discussion rolling on linux-atm-general but didn't have much luck.

I was wondering what the downside to having ATM/DSL interfaces use net_devices would be?

Part of the reason for wanting to do this is to have an end-point to send/receive netlink messages to, so that the interface can report carrier state transitions, bit rates, bit-error rates, SNR, attenuation, constellations, transmitter gain, etc.

Seems simple enough.

Why not do this?

Thanks,

-Philip
