Actually, what this guy wants to do does have a practical application. I have in front of me an Adex Electronics PCI bus extender with a disconnect switch. I would like to use this to plug PCI boards into a Linux system, configure the device, and turn it on. The idea is to test hardware, not to provide an end-user tool. So the question is valid: Is there a way under Linux to grab a bunch of PCI resources after the system is already running? Detach them again? -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, steve at picturel.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep." abuse@xo.com uce@ftc.gov _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
