FreeBSD has/had atm code in several places, there is netgraph
support for atm in netgraph, ng_atm(4), ng_atmllc(4), and
ng_ccatm(4).

There is also natm(4), and the natmip(4) you found supported by drivers
such as fatm(4), hatm(4), patm(4) and utopia(4),   I have probably
missed many other bits, but this should give you a larger set of
reading than just the natmip(4) you had found.

I believe some of this code has or is about to come under the
"unmaintained" axe and being removed from the system under
the claim that ATM is an obsolete technology.  So if you find
this usefull you need to chim in on -current and let the
project know your using it.

Thanks,
