Thats bad but I think we should hav a General PNP init code since on my card I have ATAPI MIDI AUDIO GAMEPORT AND SBEMUL and if the code for attaching and detecting PNP is in the sounddriver we have to attach that one first otherwise there will be no cdrom or gameport. So if it's possible to extend that pnp code I mentioned so it can check all pnp devices and init them them that would be the best solution. I can extend that code unless its already done. > > I'm very interested in helping developing theese drivers. > > I'll keep you updated on what I am doing, and I'll try to synchronize > efforts with you and possibly others who want to work on this. > Ok I'll put up an annonymous ftp on one of my computers. I'll let you know when I have done so. There we can have code for testing. Is there any driver that you will add or are you most interested in enhancing the ones that we already have. I will probebly poke around in audio.c dmabuf.c ad1848.c ad1848_mixer.h cs4232.c plus the files I add for GUS PNP, called something like iwsomething. /Tomas -- Tomas Klockar can be found at the following adresses: Kårhusvägen 4:23 | Furuvägen 102 | dateck@ludd.luth.se 977 54 Luleå | 871 52 Härnösand | dateck@solace.mh.se Tel: +46-920-231335 | Tel: +46-611-13393 | d94-tkl@sm.luth.se
