Yeah, testers! :) No, there aren't any published test procedures that I know of. I know a number of different companies have some private ones that they have used to test their specific drivers, but so far, I have not been able to convince anyone of them to make them public. > From poking around the web site I didn't stumble across anything, but > it wouldn't be the first time I missed the obvious. Um, don't confuse the linux-hotplug project with the PCI hotplug project. They are two different things (but the PCI hotplug code relies on the linux-hotplug userspace code to load any needed modules, so they are intertwined a bit). > If there is no such thing, where would people like to see such > contributions?

That would be great, I would love to have this for my use alone in testing new code out. > Would this be something people would like to see in the hotplug CVS > repository? Um, maybe in the pci hotplug cvs repository, if you really want to use CVS. Or we can just put it up on the web site. > Maybe I could approach the LTP? Traditionally they have only wanted tests that they can automate, and unfortunately, pci hotplug tests (and most driver tests) can't be automated very easily. But it can't hurt to try asking them :) thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: To learn the basics of securing your web site with SSL, click here to get a FREE TRIAL of a Thawte Server Certificate: http://www.gothawte.com/rd524.html _______________________________________________ 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
