Hello, I had some basic questions regarding the FreeBSD Device driver model(I am using FreBSD4.10 ) I have a Phy-Controller for which I am developing a device driver. I have writing the PHY driver(/sys/dev/mii/my_phy.c) In order to test it,I wanted to build it as a module. I have a few Q: 1. Is it possible to get the phy driver build separately (as a module)than the miibus module? Or will the phy support be interated in the miibus module?(The Makefile in /sys/modules/mii suggests that all PHYs support is integrated in miibus.ko) 2. Will i have to make a new entry in the /i3s6/conf/MYKERNEL indicating a new device under MII? 3. Is the Network Device driver model not documented in detail? Thanks, Alok. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
