In my case, I've got a digital I/O board that can have dip switches set to a range of base addresses. And it can be configured not to do interrupts or IRQs 2 - 7. I'd like to be able to do: modload -c config_file -p postinstall XXX_mod.o where the config_file might contain something similar to that given to the kernel config. Then I'd like the number of units to come from the config_file rather than from the NXXX in the XXX.h header file. -- John Birrell CIMlogic Pty Ltd jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@netbsd.org 119 Cecil Street Ph +61 3 9690 6900 South Melbourne Vic 3205 Fax +61 3 9690 6650 Australia Mob +61 18 353 137
