pci.handmap equivalent for 2.6?

pci.handmap equivalent for 2.6?

[Alex Dininno]

All,

I'm developing a PCI device driver that is being built external to a 2.6.8.1 
(kernel.org) kernel tree (i.e.: make -C path-to-2.6.8.1-kernel M=$PWD 
modules). I am making use of the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE macro but since the 
driver is not part of the kernel build, the driver module name does not show 
up in modules.pcimap file. It appears that this prevents the pci hotplug 
system from handling my stand-alone driver module. I see that there is a 
usb.handmap file in the latest hotplug tarball (hotplug-2004_04_01.tar) - is 
there some way to specify stand-alone pci devices in a way similar to the 
usb.handmap file?

Regards,

Alex Dininno

You are lucky, a patch to do this has been submitted to debian a few
hours ago: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug'1843 .

Most "usb.handmap" entries were needed because there was no
input hotplugging way back when 2.4.0 shipped.

Why would a PCI driver, properly installed with "depmod -a", need
any sort of "handmap" mechanism?

The bug submitter is using it to autoload ndiswrapper.
