Certainly a well behaved driver would not touch a device already handled by a linux driver. It should be possible to just issue an unbind request to the linux driver for the desired device and then a bind request to the rtnet driver to take over that device. But I have not looked at rtnet, so I don't know how those behave compared to linux drivers. -- Len Sorensen _______________________________________________ Xenomai mailing list [email protected] http://www.xenomai.org/mailman/listinfo/xenomai
