The device is this one: http://www.bihl-wiedemann.de/englisch/catalog/1195.html The code is based on an old device driver, by Ludolf Holzheild of Bihl-Wiedemann, written for kernel 2.0 and early versions of 2.2. I added some functions and ported it to 2.4 and 2.6. The driver works fine, at least for the testing I did. Anyway since it's my first attempt to a device driver, it may need some lifting. Furthermore I used major number 60, since this driver doesn't have a proper one. Who should I send the driver to? Andrew Morton? Cheers, Filippo Carone
