How to create a modem dial using USBSerialDriverKit

Question

I'm developing a modem driver based on DriverKit framework for a USB Ethernet adapater.
The current situation is that I can open the modem port in the /dev/ directory and send/receive data normally, but can't create Modem in the network preferences.
I found IOModemSerialStreamSync can be used to create modem in IOKit, but now how to create modem using DriverKit.

Answer 1

You need to add the "HiddenPort" property to your plist and specify "False", this will make it appear in Network Preferences as a Modem.

I have tried to add the "HiddenPort" property to my plist and specify "False". But it doesn't work. Does it need other settings? I am new to dext, is there any sample code about this can be shared？

Answer 5

'HiddenPort' is not a property known to DriverKit, and a DriverKit USB Serial adapter driver is not able affect to affect nor control whether or not it is listed in Networking Preferences.

It is not possible to write a DriverKit USB Serial adapter driver that will appear in Networking Preferences and can be used to provide a dial-up network connection.
