To be honest, I'm not sure how to solve this. The reason I wanted the
2T3E3 driver in the "staging" was I also wanted to write a new hdlc/sync
serial/etc. management layer, dealing in a uniform way with all those
physical line, L2 protocol, timings and what-not settings.
But the sync serial interfaces are more and more obsolete, and there are
much more interesting things to write, so the new management layer never
happened.
Last time I checked, the driver was functional and the code was
reasonable, so perhaps the best course of action would be to move it out
to the regular network WAN drivers directory.
I need to get it through netdev@ I guess.
