The more people we have the better chance we have of doing this project! But I need to send this message out because I really don't know anything about coding device drivers. And the Device Driver Tutorial on www.freebsd.org was not much help. I think a lot of IR devices in notebooks are on the PCI bus (that is where my IR device is located). But when the kernel finds it on boot, of course is cannot assign a driver to it because it doesn't exist. It does tell me that the (pci class = comms) how does one code a class=comms? is this anything like serial? In the /usr/src/sys/pci/ there is some code cy_* (sorry I forget right now) but this code is for handling some pci serial hardware? Would this be of any help, for example code? Please send all idea,etc. Thanks, Mike _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
