Hello everyone, Just to announce what I'm up to... After revamping the log framework, I'm on to interrupt handling. This is right now the main source of troubles AFAICS. My work is only visible on my local tree, and my git is up only from time to time (at least, I have ddclient working now, heh). Just in case, the URL is http://acx100.dyn-o-saur.com The plan is to follow the practices seen in other drivers, and b43 in particular since this a perfect example of what a reverse engineered driver can look like. Unfortunately, I'm not a confirmed RE guy. If any of you have experience with this, I'd appreciate some pointers. My test machine also runs Windows (from time to time). I'll keep these pointers preciously for future use. I'm open to suggestions! Have fun, -- Francis Galiegue, fga...@gm...
