yes, my stuff is based on their code. The goal is to made something we 
could integrate in the kernel later (actualy the module does everything 
: atm layer + fake ethernet device, ...).
The crc error are also present with this driver :

There is a define USEBULK for the switch, iso is the default mode.

yes it works, except some unloading problem : when I try to unload 
usb-atm, the kernel freeze.
The usb-atm in iso mode works well, except also for unloading : when 
unloading the device driver, I have a kernel panic.

Yes I will track the unloading isue, but the some of my questions were 
general and also valid for bulk mode (resumitting directly empty urbs, 
filling the urb in init + just change buffer and context, ...)
