Hi, SyncE standard needs two abilities from the Network Interface Card: - check the status of frequency loop, if it is locked/holdover/etc - select one of the PHY ports as a signal source. Currently in sync4l both of those abilities are provided in form of shell commands, so it can be used with any user-space tool. For the future, the plan is to have generic netlink based interface/subsystem in the kernel. Designed for all devices capable of syntonizing its clock to an external source (I am working on it right now), probably also equipped with generic sysfs for manual control.
