Could you write a few words > describing what the goal of this particular development tree is? Yes. I'm wrinting a code now. My first goal is to support dynamic assignment of PCI interrupt. It is required to support CardBus. Final goal is to support CompactPCI. A CompactPCI device is dinamically inserted/removed like a PC Card. I think we need to assign PCI resource(interrupt, bus number, etc...) on the fly to support a CompactPCI and other Hot-plug PCI devices. #Maybe, Docking Station is a Hot-plug device. ------- YAMAMOTO Shigeru <shigeru@iij.ad.jp> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
