Soren, (cc to Hackers for general information) In our Telepresence Lab we have almost finished a driver for the Advantach PCI 1750 card. This is a I/O card with 16 inputs and 16 outputs, timer chips and interrupts triggered by changes in state on the input lines or the outputs of the timer chips. So far our driver only supports digital outputs. (no inputs or interrupt handlers) We want to make the driver freely available to all (subject to final approval from our project supervisor). Some questions? 1) Is this worth including in the main source tree? 2) How do I get a major device number. 3) If our supervisor makes us release binary only drivers, what would be the best way forwards? On -current, we can have a loadable PCI device driver. What happens on 3.x systems. 4) If it does not go into a release, is there somewhere on the web site to mention the driver, prehaps in the 'projects' section. Hopefully, we can make it open source and have the source in the FreeBSD source tree for everyone to use. What do people think about this? Comment please.
