Alan Cox told me that it is almost impossible to run the real mode initialization code from inside the kernel. Instead he pointed me to lrmi which is a small app that can do it from the command line. I'm looking into mod'ing lrmi so that it can coordinate with the device driver and reset the secondary adapter instead of the primary one. ===== Jon Smirl jonsmirl@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
