|  | 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 |

|  | 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. |

|  | 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 |

|  | 41 | AX.25 is the protocol used for computer communication over amateur |

|  | 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 | 
| Robert P. J. Day | 646b1c9 | 2007-10-20 00:11:36 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 67 | to be probed by "dmascc.io=addr1,addr2,..." (when compiled into the | 
| Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 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 |
