Alright, I'll put in my two cents worth, with a really off-the-wall request.

I'd like to see the linux-atm userland and ATM configuration in 
redhat-config-network.  I'd like to see interface bonding working with both 
CIP and LANE ATM connections. (for hot failover, just like I get with my 
switch-to-switch PNNI connections).  Being able to bind multiple LANE 
interfaces to a single ATM NIC would also be very nice.  Or a mixed LANE 
interface and a CIP interface on one ATM NIC.  PVC setup would be wonderful!

I have the network, machines, switches, NICS, and fiber to test all of this, 
too.  Both OC-3c and OC-12c NICs here, with the OC-12c NICs being the very 
well supported Fore Marconi HE622.

And if no one else can do so, I just might have to do the work myself.... :-)  
But, if I do the work, I'd like to see it integrated so others can use it.

3Com Corebuilder 7000's are so cheap on eBay right now that anyone can have an 
OC-12 network for little money.
