Micheel" To: freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Loadable PCI device drivers Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Organization: Kent Ridge Digital Labs, Singapore Project: SingAREN, the Singapore Advanced Research and Education Network Operating-System: ... powered by FreeBSD Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I've got a PCI network device driver that I'd like to support for the next couple of years on FreeBSD. I have written an initial implementation for 2.2.6 and, with a little effort, was able to make it (un)loadable. Now with 3.0 and the changes in both the PCI device driver framework and the switch from LKM to KLD modules everything is different. I'm willing to spend time and efforts to make loadable PCI device drivers work again. I need some kind soul to give me the proper directions, intended architecture etc. You may respond in private, if this is not of general interest. Thank you. Joerg -- Joerg B.
