I didnt have the time yet to look into ldisc. I will introduce a patch 
someday,
when ldisc is ready and I understand the code ;-)

My first attemp to write a kernel modul / LinuxPPS seems to be successful.
The client is working and using GPIO PIN2  (unused reset button) of the the
Edimax BR-6104KP. I have started a test: Two ADM5120 boards  with one is
using standard DCD and the other GPIO PIN2. I going to setup a small web
page soon to let you know about used code and results.

BTW.: Whats the status of LinuxPPS in mainline Linux kernel ? Any hopes
to get it into 2.6.27 ?
