What is pcitool? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Freeman Liu Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 10:01 PM To: Cyril Plisko Cc: opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [osol-discuss] Proposal for easypci (fwd)
Hi, Cyril, I have contact the original author of pcitool and found pcitool will not be available for community. It will be impossible for easypci to be integrated into opensolaris without it. I'll find another way, for I believe this tool is useful.
