hi list. assume i have registered my own network interrupt handler. what if i would want to write(2) the packets values, like flags, to an already open filedescriptor? i registered the handler as BH (bottom half), and when the handler is called i can do all the usual stuff like printk(); etc. obviously. now is it possible to write(2) to a file while the interrupt handling routine is executing? i tried to do that, but nothing seems to happen. the logfile stays empty. when calling the log function from init_module() there is no problem with that, and the file gets filled with data. thanks for your time _____________________________________________________________________ Der WEB.DE Virenschutz schuetzt Ihr Postfach vor dem Wurm Netsky.A-K!
