Description:

The AUR package is at

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=4052&O=0&L=0&C=0&K=linux-atm&SB=n&SO=a&PP=25&do_MyPackages=0&do_Orphans=0&SeB=nd

Although it is not too troublesome to install it via AUR, I think it would be beneficial to users who use USB (A)DSL modems to have this package in core and on install CD.


Additional info:
* package version(s)

N/A

* config and/or log files etc.

Hrm, I always thought ATM networking was dead and gone. Like AppleTalk or DECNet.... Branko, do you actually use this, or know someone who does?

Well, the linux-atm package is required for ueagle-based modems to work properly. It so happens that the eagle chip is used in Sagem modems which are quite popular in France and Serbia, and probably elsewhere, where ISPs give you a cheap modem. I myself am not using it, but my friend owns the Sagem modem.

Good enough for me. Let's throw this in core/support (tagging this in my ever-growing todo list)
