Is it publically available? Linux-ATM CVS appears to contain no
kernelspace code. I'm just curious how atm_dev attributes are mapped to
net_device's, which doesn't look easy with the current atm_dev and
net_device.
Also, is it scheduled for inclusion in the mainline any time soon? If
it is, maybe we shouldn't create an atm-specific user-visible interface
in sysfs and hotplug which is going to be obsoleted by the net generic
one in the near future?
