I think you need to be a bit clearer on what you actually want. I know all about OAM, but your question is not specific enough. It is ATM specific, so support is not required in the speedtch.ko driver, but instead in the ATM modules. So I would say that it is not really anything to do with the speedtouch driver. I think the kernel ATM layers already support OAM, so if you use the kernel modules, and not the speedbundle user land modules, you should be fine. For general info to everyone else. OAM stands for Operation and Maintenance. One can have 5 types of OAM flows, labeled F1,F2,F3,F4,F5. One can have segment or end-to-end OAM flows. One can initiate OAM flows(e.g. like sending a ping packet or ICMP echo request), just monitor them(e.g. like sniffing packets), or loop them back(e.g. like responding to a received ping or responding with an ICMP echo reply). One can use them to convey status. e.g. AIS and FERF alarms. So, the question needs to be made more specific. E.g. "We need support in order to respond to incoming F4 OAM segment flows." or "We need to be able to detect AIS and FERF alarms."
