The card in question _has_ a driver. I, for example, just need a way to write EEPROM data to it (vendor/device ID etc). The card has to be selected by PCI bus and slot (device) number, not by device class and/or IDs, because it can contain garbage and/or some generic IDs with generic device class. I'm not against the additional driver but it has to be able to work with any specified card (as setpci does). But if it's that simple then why not do that in the PCI code instead (holding some device file open isn't a problem)? -- Krzysztof Halasa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
