How about: (3) rewrite MPIO code to use libusb/usbfs to not require any kernel module at all. Could that be possible? Is there anything that you need to do that requires a kernel module? In looking at the rio500 driver, it can all be done from userspace too, right? thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
