Wouldn't "global" be a better word than "external"? Anyway, global variables default to being zero so they don't need to be initialized. /* Error variable.

You would have to modify wait_ibsyclr() somehow... regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
