Well I just wanted to get my device working again without changing the code too much, so I added an untimeout() for the existing timeout(). The usb code is also shared with the other *BSD groups. Looking at the rest of the usb files, I see that they do use usb_callout*(), so one can probably convert umass to it. The man page for (un)timeout and callout* is interesting because it does say that timeout() "is the old style and new code should use the callout_* functions" but a little later it also says "The functions callout_init(), callout_stop() and callout_reset() are low- level routines for clients who wish to allocate their own callout struc- tures." :-) John -- John Hay -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
