Hi, Daniel:
I am sorry. The linux loader code is not written by us. We don’t know much
about it because we even don’t have the source code. That is why we want to
get rid of it. I am looking for the possibility of windows 2000, but I don’t
know if it is possible.

first time?
Hi Zhongsheng,
Can you please tell me where can I find documentation and another
useful resources for Linux PCI driver development. I’ll be soon in
position to do a similar task of yours and I need a starting point.
Thanks!
Daniel
