From 1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2005 15:20:36 -0700 Subject: Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.

+ + + + + Introduction + + The syncppp drivers in Linux provide a fairly complete + implementation of Cisco HDLC and a minimal implementation of + PPP. The longer term goal is to switch the PPP layer to the + generic PPP interface that is new in Linux 2.3.x. The API should + remain unchanged when this is done, but support will then be + available for IPX, compression and other PPP features + + + + Known Bugs And Assumptions + + + PPP is minimal + + + The current PPP implementation is very basic, although sufficient + for most wan usages. + + + + Cisco HDLC Quirks + + + Currently we do not end all packets with the correct Cisco multicast + or unicast flags. Nothing appears to mind too much but this should + be corrected. + + + + + + + + + Public Functions Provided +!Edrivers/net/wan/syncppp.c + + +
