Question about de4x5.c(Device Driver)

Post by ha sungw » Fri, 06 Dec 1996 04:00:00



I have a question about "de4x5_private" structure.
Would you tell me how "rx_new, rx_old, tx_new, tx_old" are used? I probed the
code but I still don't understand the usage of them.

Thank you very much.

1. Device driver question (generic device driver)

Hi, I post this for a colleague, who is unable to post here, so please

Herbert
Now his questions:

Hello,
I'm currently involved in writing a generic device driver, that
implements some common functions for other real drivers. My problem is:
How can I make sure that the generic driver is loaded first (before the
real driver modules)? Is there any order besides the order in the
/etc/system-file?
How does the OS loads it's own generic driver-modules?
Is it on demand ?
If yes, how is the "demanding" encoded, and where (Is there a defaults
file for this ? Is it hardcoded or can it be configured?) ?

Any help appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your replies!

Yours,

Christian
