I'm not aware of any AX.25 protocol support that ships as part of standard BSD network stack (but I could be surprised). You could write your own protocol handler based on whatever open source is available, but that's a lot of work. It's probably easier to use a PF_NDRV socket (raw driver access) to extract the frames right to your user process and decode them from there.

Actually, I wouldn't be getting the byte stream from the network. I'd have to get it from a serial port or USB device. I wanted to then feed that into the network protocol stack (assuming it had AX.25 support), but I really have no idea how I'd do that.


(This approach was suggested to me by someone who wrote an audio decoder for various digital radio transmission modes.)

I think Linux has AX.25 in it's network stack; I had hoped that would mean it was already in Darwin, or possibly easy to add.

Thanks, anyway.
