I have not done any work with the coding of Device Drivers, so I don't know where to start. Any ideas?? If someone out there knowledgable in this area is willing to help out that would be great. I am wondering about the method I should go about for my ir device (it is on my pci bus). The kernel finds it on boot, but doesn't have a driver for it. ;) I was looking in /usr/src/sys/pci/ at some of the code and I found something that was pci serial, so I think that it might help me out because I am guessing that IR is used kinda like serial but other functions? Well, keep in contact, and send any helpful information and/or code. We also might go about setting up a web page for this project. So others can find us, and join in?
