I think you miss the point... I was looking at _decreasing_ the amount
of work I had to do! :-)

Anyway, this sysfs stuff is something for me to look at, but at the
moment there are no attributes being exported via sysfs, I am currently
reading up on the lwn.net articles about it... I will try to submit a
patch to add some of this stuff later this week.

However, for at least edification purposes, I would still like to know
why the proc directory is not working. It appears to me that a static
global variable is not being read somehow?!? I sent a second e-mail
through about that though.

Thanks for the input,
Paul
