You may have some work to do here - I don't think the Linux emulator's quite up to faking a Linux kernel development environment yet 8-( The only thing I can think of is having a look at the FreeBSD device driver tutorial under http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ and then trying to make a judgment on how difficult it would be to port it. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk jraynard@FreeBSD.ORG
