Your right about the packet driver, that should work but if my PCI Channel card uses DMA I'm pretty much screwed right?
No, the packet driver will work in any case. Direct access will not, but who cares if the packet driver does the trick.
Packet driver has a connection with Linux kernel and not with the hardware. That is why it will allways work. Just the same as graphic will allways work under X, as it completely ignore the real hardware.
But I would like to ask a question: If you are interfacing with a very expensive Hardware, why don't you just dedicate a machine exclusively for that? A new machine would cost a small fraction of that PCI board alone...
