Quite interesting that you found it. It was released yesterday, and I wanted to write an announcement in a few days, at least at the Xenomai lists. Anyway ... > This might be what you are looking for: > > http://most4linux.sourceforge.net/ Yes, that's a MOST driver for a OS 8604 PCI interface that I wrote as Diploma Thesis at Siemens. It was relased as OpenSource just now. It only supports synchronous data transfer. The Most NetServices are in userspace. There's a OpenSource demonstration available, but no full NetServices implementation. You can buy a license from SMC or use the specification to re-write an OSS implementation. However, that's all userspace, so no GPL problem here. :) I must say that it was more a demonstration how a Linux driver could be ported to real-time Linux extension than a real productive working MOST driver for Linux. Well, but of course, it works. At least it did in my environement (i386/single-CPU). You can find more information on the homepage ... Regards, Bernhard PS: SUSE has nothing to do with that driver, I only write with my SUSE address because I don't want to re-subscribe because of one mail. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
