Thanks. I have checked your source code. The idea of Netgraph ATM (ng_atm) is 
great. It looks simple to feed the PDU of the AAL5/CPCS with whatever 
payload, just like the ng_ether node.

However what is the advantage on the HARP/ATM kernel sockets ?

I think that the following architecture would be more simple, don't you ?


   \   \    /    /
   ng_XXXX
        |
   ng_ksocket

According to you, how difficult would it be if I wanted to port this drivers 
for the HARP stack ?

Is your driver based on the Marconi's source code for the HE155 ?

Why are the ATM drivers stack specific ?
