Howto configure the Linux kernel / net / lapb LAPB Data Link Drive * Option: LAPB * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ... * (on/off/module) LAPB Data Link Driver (EXPERIMENTAL) * depends on EXPERIMENTAL Link Access Procedure, Balanced (LAPB) is the data link layer (i.e. the lower) part of the X.25 protocol.
