The pseudo driver instance cannot be simply layered as it shares structures with the character device instances. The size and format of these structures change with each driver build so they are inexorably tied together.
At best all three kernel drivers can exist on the system as long as add_drv is only done on one of them. _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
