[Asterisk-Users] T100P HDLC configuration

[Vasyl Rublyov]

All,

I went thru kernel and zaptel code and see that zaptel driver prepared 
for kernels >= 2.4.20 and should be able to handle cisco hdlc without 
problem... but
it has been commented out from the code. What is the reason? Does anyone 
have idea?

Like this:

#ifdef NEW_HDLC_INTERFACE
                {
                        skb->mac.raw = skb->data;
                        skb->dev = &ms->hdlcnetdev->netdev.netdev;
#if 0
                        skb->protocol = hdlc_type_trans(skb, 
&ms->hdlcnetdev->netdev.netdev);
#else
                        skb->protocol = htons (ETH_P_HDLC);
#endif
                        netif_rx(skb);
                }
#else
                        hdlc_netif_rx(&ms->hdlcnetdev->netdev, skb);
#endif
#endif

It should be hdlc_type_trans to handle frames.
