6 | KISS is a protocol used for the exchange of data between a computer | |
7 | and a Terminal Node Controller (a small embedded system commonly | |
8 | used for networking over AX.25 amateur radio connections; it | |
9 | connects the computer's serial port with the radio's microphone | |
10 | input and speaker output). | |
11 | ||
12 | Although KISS is less advanced than the 6pack protocol, it has | |
13 | the advantage that it is already supported by most modern TNCs | |
14 | without the need for a firmware upgrade. | |
15 | ||
16 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module | |
17 | will be called mkiss. | |

22 | ---help--- |
23 | 6pack is a transmission protocol for the data exchange between your | |
24 | PC and your TNC (the Terminal Node Controller acts as a kind of | |
25 | modem connecting your computer's serial port to your radio's | |
26 | microphone input and speaker output). This protocol can be used as | |
27 | an alternative to KISS for networking over AX.25 amateur radio | |
28 | connections, but it has some extended functionality. | |
29 | ||
30 | Note that this driver is still experimental and might cause | |
31 | problems. For details about the features and the usage of the | |
32 | driver, read <file:Documentation/networking/6pack.txt>. | |

40 | help | |
41 | AX.25 is the protocol used for computer communication over amateur | |
42 | radio. If you say Y here, you will be able to send and receive AX.25 | |
43 | traffic over Ethernet (also called "BPQ AX.25"), which could be | |
44 | useful if some other computer on your local network has a direct | |
45 | amateur radio connection. | |

50 | ---help--- |
51 | This is a driver for high-speed SCC boards, i.e. those supporting | |
52 | DMA on one port. You usually use those boards to connect your | |
53 | computer to an amateur radio modem (such as the WA4DSY 56kbps | |
54 | modem), in order to send and receive AX.25 packet radio network | |
55 | traffic. | |
56 | ||
57 | Currently, this driver supports Ottawa PI/PI2, Paccomm/Gracilis | |
58 | PackeTwin, and S5SCC/DMA boards. They are detected automatically. | |
59 | If you have one of these cards, say Y here and read the AX25-HOWTO, | |
60 | available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. | |
61 | ||
62 | This driver can operate multiple boards simultaneously. If you | |
63 | compile it as a module (by saying M instead of Y), it will be called | |
64 | dmascc. If you don't pass any parameter to the driver, all | |
65 | possible I/O addresses are probed. This could irritate other devices | |
66 | that are currently not in use. You may specify the list of addresses | |
646b1c9d | 67 | to be probed by "dmascc.io=addr1,addr2,..." (when compiled into the |
1da177e4 LT |
68 | kernel image) or "io=addr1,addr2,..." (when loaded as a module). The |
69 | network interfaces will be called dmascc0 and dmascc1 for the board | |
70 | detected first, dmascc2 and dmascc3 for the second one, and so on. | |
71 | ||
72 | Before you configure each interface with ifconfig, you MUST set | |
73 | certain parameters, such as channel access timing, clock mode, and | |
74 | DMA channel. This is accomplished with a small utility program, | |
75 | dmascc_cfg, available at | |
76 | <http://cacofonix.nt.tuwien.ac.at/~oe1kib/Linux/>. Please be sure to | |
77 | get at least version 1.27 of dmascc_cfg, as older versions will not | |
78 | work with the current driver. | |
