I added similar support to the pre hw_random AMD8111 driver a long time ago. Basically a timer that regularly read some dat from the hw random generator and feed it into the random code. I think it is a good idea, because it doesnt make much sense imho to run a daemon for something that can be done in 20 lines of code in the kernel. -Andi - 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/
