tty: n_gsm: Add raw-ip support
This patch adds the ability to open a network data connection over a mux virtual tty channel. This is for modems that support data connections with raw IP frames instead of PPP. On high speed data connections this eliminates a significant amount of PPP overhead. To use this interface, the application must first tell the modem to open a network connection on a virtual tty. Once that has been accomplished, the app will issue an IOCTL on that virtual tty to create the network interface. The IOCTL will return the index of the interface created. The two IOCTL commands are: ioctl( fd, GSMIOC_ENABLE_NET ); ioctl( fd, GSMIOC_DISABLE_NET ); Signed-off-by: Russ Gorby <russ.gorby@intel.com> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
