Re: [Linux-ATM-General] ATM kernel patches -AAL1/2

I don't think you could avoid sleeping even with signalling in the kernel.
When the open involves signalling you still have to sleep while waiting 
for the signalling reply message.
But I agree with Mike's remark that it is a lot of work.
Getting good AAL support has a higher priority for me. So I'll 
concentrate on that.
