Hi Greg, No, I didn't mean that pci_register_driver() didn't work for me. I used pci_find_device() as inheritance from older kernels :). Now I'm writing another PCI driver for a new data processing board and I will definitely "upgrade" it. Thanks.

Um, 2.4 should also work just fine without using pci_find_device(). In fact, that's the kernel series that it was created for (during 2.3). It is not a "new" interface by any means :) > We are developing complicated medical machines with proprietary hardware. > For our purpose pci_find_device() is ABSOLUTELY legitimate as probably for > many "old timer" kernel module developers :). Why is it legitimate? Why would pci_register_driver() not work for you now? thanks, greg k-h -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
