If so then you can do this by calling functions from one module/process to other module/process or through memory sharing etc .... b/c in kernel each module/process when loaded becomes the part of the kernel and they can interact with each other through function calling .... There might be some way of implementing msg-queues in kernel but I havn't found any till now and don't know abt that !!!!! -- Fawad Lateef -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
