Where will you transmit those cells? Do you want to add a library wich will answer specifically to this OAM traffic? Bewan support OAM both at module and user-mode level -the module accept received OAM traffic and answer to OAM cells - a user-space program allow to send OAM ping (this is only necessary if you want to be able to ping) README file say "... Version 0.4.7: - Added support for AAL0 (raw) cells. - Added a few ioctl's for the status application (coming later). - The modem software library has been patched to remove strings containing "gcc2_copmpiled". The driver now loads correctly on RedHat 8.0. - The floating point library libm.a is no longer in the package. Please install it if with your distribution (Mandrake 9.0) it is not installed. It is normally in /usr/lib/. - There are two transmit queues with different priorities. This is in order to add support for CBR,VBR streams. This is very preliminary and if you have any comment, please contact me. ... Version 0.7.1: - Implemented OAM loopback in the drivers. This is necessary in order to work with Telecom Italia lines. Version 0.7.2: - Removed the 'autoconfig', since I don't think it is used and did not work with the new OAM loopback in the drivers. - Added a new 'tools' directory. This contains simple tools to get the status, get the status as a cgi application and send OAM pings. ..."
