Prior to that, it has - to preset some of the fields of isdn_if. The LL sets the rest of - the fields. All further communication is done via callbacks using - the function-pointers defined in isdn_if. - - Changes/Version numbering: - - During development of the ISDN subsystem, several changes have been - made to the interface. Before it went into kernel, the package - had a unique version number. The last version, distributed separately - was 0.7.4. When the subsystem went into kernel, every functional unit - got a separate version number. These numbers are shown at initialization, - separated by slashes: - - c.c/t.t/n.n/p.p/a.a/v.v - - where - - c.c is the revision of the common code. - t.t is the revision of the tty related code. - n.n is the revision of the network related code. - p.p is the revision of the ppp related code. - a.a is the revision of the audio related code. - v.v is the revision of the V.110 related code. - - Changes in this document are marked with '***CHANGEx' where x representing - the version number. If that number starts with 0, it refers to the old, - separately distributed package. If it starts with one of the letters - above, it refers to the revision of the corresponding module. - ***CHANGEIx refers to the revision number of the isdnif.h - -1. Description of the fields of isdn_if: - - int channels; - - This field has to be set by the HL-driver to the number of channels - supported prior to calling register_isdn(). Upon return of the call, - the LL puts an id there, which has to be used by the HL-driver when - invoking the other callbacks. - - int maxbufsize; - - ***CHANGE0.6: New since this version. - - Also to be preset by the HL-driver. With this value the HL-driver - tells the LL the maximum size of a data-packet it will accept. - - unsigned long features; - - To be preset by the HL-driver. Using this field, the HL-driver - announces the features supported. At the moment this is limited to - report the supported layer2 and layer3-protocols. For setting this - field the constants ISDN_FEATURE..., declared in isdnif.h have to be - used. - - ***CHANGE0.7.1: The line type (1TR6, EDSS1) has to be set. - - unsigned short hl_hdrlen; - - ***CHANGE0.7.4: New field. - - To be preset by the HL-driver, if it supports sk_buff's. The driver - should put here the amount of additional space needed in sk_buff's for - its internal purposes. Drivers not supporting sk_buff's should - initialize this field to 0. - - void (*rcvcallb_skb)(int, int, struct sk_buff *) - - ***CHANGE0.7.4: New field. - - This field will be set by LL. The HL-driver delivers received data- - packets by calling this function.
