HI all,
I'm working on a small app helping the user to configure USB modem for
use with Mac OS X. I have working drivers for this modem and if I
connect the modem for the first time a network service is create
auto-magically and added to the current location. I can the change or
duplicate this service for other locations etc. using either API or
networksetup command line utility.
What I do not understand is how it happens that a serial device
created and registered bu the driver is being recognized by PPP layer
as a suitable device and whether it is possible to untie this
connection and/or recreate a fresh network service for an existing
serial device. I need this at least for debugging purposes and perhaps
even for user application.
In documentation for system configuration I've read that it;s not
straightforward process to recognize what serial devices are mapped to
a network service etc... Do I miss something?
Thanks a lot for any explanations or pointers.
Pavel
