Packet driver has a connection with Linux kernel and not with the
hardware. That is why it will allways work. Just the same as graphic
will allways work under X, as it completely ignore the real hardware.
But I would like to ask a question: If you are interfacing with a very
expensive Hardware, why don't you just dedicate a machine exclusively
for that? A new machine would cost a small fraction of that PCI board
alone...
