The kernel will not let you register two drivers with the same name. That is happening when you try to register the pci driver name. That is why this is failing. In short, don't do this, just unload your old driver and register a new one. It really isn't working the way you think it is (only the old one gets bound to the device, not the new one.) thanks, greg k-h -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
