Re: UIO driver test

I am trying to replicate the igb_uio for realtek card on my system. I saw the igb_uio source and it uses no ID table.

Struct pci_driver igb_pci_driver = {
    .id_table = NULL;
};

So I wanted to understand the mechanism by which the igb_uio binds to a igb network card driver.

What exactly will that do?  You have to have a ID of a PCI device in
order to properly bind to it, correct?

Do you have a device you want to write a UIO driver for?  If not, you
aren't going to get very far :)
