Stefan Esser stands accused of saying: > > The file /etc/pcidevices will contain lines with the PCI vendor and device > ID, and an associated driver object file: > > 0x802910ec if_ed Please don't do it like that; put a data structure in the LKM file that contains this data and then write a utility to take the list of PCI device ID's and return a list of LKMs required to cover them. (You could add this to the utility that extracts the list of unhandled ID's from the kernel; just give it a path to where the LKMs live.) > Regards, STefan -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
