Then it doesn't sound right... :-) The product exists, and it's not mine. I'm just writing a driver for an encryption card that will be used by the product. Anyway, thanks for all the help. It seems all my problems haven been solved. In the end, I decided using tsleep, and they'll be creating a kernel process and accessing the device through it's normal interface. BTW, if I read the source code right, one "unit" of tsleep normally corresponds to 1/128 seconds, and 1/1024 while profiling, is that right? -- Daniel C. Sobral (8-DCS) Daniel_Sobral@voga.com.br
