thanks for the input Rajat. I have another follow up question how does one decide which interrupt number to use let for a pci device. can the number u chose be dynamic so that one doesn't run into any irq conflicts.
By the time your driver gets its hands on the device, the IRQ conflicts have already been resoved for you by the PCI firmware. So all you need to do is read the PCI interrupt number from the configuration space and use it. Please read LDD3 chapter on PCI drivers for more.
