The kernel driver they replaced was a total mess, with over 60+ ioctls to try to control the different aspects of the device. See the last patch in this series for more details on this driver. These patches include full documentation, are self-contained from the rest of the kernel, and have been in the -mm tree for the past few months with no complaints. Please pull from: master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/uio-2.6.git/ Patches will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people to see. thanks, greg k-h Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.tmpl | 4 + Documentation/DocBook/uio-howto.tmpl | 611 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/Kconfig | 1 + drivers/Makefile | 1 + drivers/uio/Kconfig | 29 ++ drivers/uio/Makefile | 2 + drivers/uio/uio.c | 701 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/uio/uio_cif.c | 156 ++++++++ include/linux/uio_driver.h | 91 +++++ 9 files changed, 1596 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/DocBook/uio-howto.tmpl create mode 100644 drivers/uio/Kconfig create mode 100644 drivers/uio/Makefile create mode 100644 drivers/uio/uio.c create mode 100644 drivers/uio/uio_cif.c create mode 100644 include/linux/uio_driver.h --------------- Hans J.
