I'm willing to review your probe/attach code
(the only parts that ought to know about PCI),
if you send me the sources ...

Just curious: Will this driver be available in 
source form, when it is finished ?

I'll answer your questions, just give me a day
or two during the week, since I can't check my
new mail each day ...

I have prepared slides (in German), which might 
be easy to translate. I assume you got the PCI
standard documents, and you may want to get 
"PCI System Architecture" from Mindshare Inc.
(Addison Wesley) as a good introduction into the
concepts of PCI.
