does a PCI device driver need to have either a network device or a
character device or can i simply allow it to be a netgraph only
device?

don't want to register the layer1 device driver as a network
interface but no real reason for the character interface either.

currently it's hard rebooting the system when loading the module so
i have background problems to iron out (getting a CVS repo to
work from is taking time).  if anyone knows the answer "in principle"
i'd appreciate it.


cheers,
