Hi Walter and Mike ! I followed all your mail about how to patch the kernel. I seems that the solution that would satisfy (more or less) everybody would be an extra list for at_shutdown where both apm and ups drivers can insert callbacks. (the way I patched my system's kernel - haha). Mike mentioned ordering the lists. Isn't it too much ? It would mean defining some kind of priority levels, and a lot of do and don't's for calling at_shutdown. Walter, please send me a snapshot of your work, either as attachment or to ftp://ftp.dbio.ro/incoming . I'd like to rewrite my driver but I want to see what you expect from thie kind of driver (ioctls and others). I will go with your design as it seems (from what you say) the most advanced. Regards, Calin
