serial driver prob

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

i've made a very small serial driver for 16550A UART.
in order to test it i need to remove the existing serial
driver which gets loded on startup. it's attached to IRQ4
(COM 2 i think...). how do i do this? shud i call free_irq(4, NULL)
in my drivers initialization code??

TIA
mandeep

It's not to hard to grep for this structure.  Learn how to use tools
like cscope, grep, or cgvg for help in finding strings in source code.

Good luck,
