RFC1483 (obsoleted by RFC2684) bridged encapsulation for linux 2.4 by GAL, Marcell (Hungary).

NEW TUTORIAL from Eric Leblond. (Thanx Eric). Be sure to start there, it is a good getting started guide. Anyway the rest info here is kindof old, take those with a grain of salt. I recommend using a new kernel, official (Linus) kernel contains br2684.c since 2.4.19, so you will not need the patching than. (but still need the linuxatm libraries and user-space daemon code.)

---

Some of the older patches came boundled with Mitchell Blank's PPPoverATM driver, since they shared some ioctl functions. Mitch has also contributed to the br2684 code. THX.
Also thanx to

If you need a little more than the public version, like some professional services (auditing measuring setups, hints on code development - including pppoe systems - or the newest br2684 version with more documentation, you can contact info@x-dsl.hu) x-dsl.hu

TUTORIAL by Joonbum Byun

• get the kernel from your favorite mirror
• get the linuxatm distribution, compile and install (this is very important, otherwise you'll lack atm.h and libatm.so)
• get the pppoatm-br2684 kernel patch (there are more than one kernel-patches, I'd try the latest first..) from dist/
• patch your kernel
• config and compile your kernel (install it,reboot etc..)
• get the userspace utility from dist/
• understand it ;) and compile (read this USAGE again if you fail ;)
• use the binary to make the interfaces and attach PVC-s to them
• ifconfig your newly created interfaces (like you'd do with eth0)
• send your comments to cell@sch.bme.hu (and optionally to the linuxatm mailing list)
