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
