Now it is wrong and is certain to change :-). Nope. I started it since Julian has been posting a description ``To all device driver hackers: how to modify your driver'', and i was pretty sure that i would find this one most easily by converting it into a man page. ;-) Even moving targets should be documented. In this case, documentation is more than required since people are expected to modify their drivers according to the new semantics, so the kernel hackers need something to lookup. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
