That doesn't sound too good... Do you mean the module could stop working any time, even if its devices are being used continuously? > Are you willing to test to-pci-probing patches (i.e. patches which > converts the driver to the model introduced in linux 2.4)? Well yes. We've got a copule of such cards, which raises some interest in a proper driver. Just send the patches with some instructions along, or point me to a git branch if you prefer. > If not, I'll only increment the counter on modprobe and decrement it > on rmmod, since it would be a safe (in the meaning of not changing > that much code) way of fixing the problem. And what are the drawbacks of this simple solution? -- Regards, Feri. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
