Hi!
Can anybody explain me first:
a) How one can find out which devices are configured in the system,
to which IRQs and addresses?
b) How one can add a new device to the kernel, if he has the source for
the device driver?
PS. I'm using FreeBSD.
PPS. I'm willing to learn, but cannot find the proper side to start - the
question I'm interested now is "The place of device drivers in the system -
now I have only bits, like mknode, MAKEDEV, IRQ's, some sources, but I don't
know how to put all these bits together.
Please, help me!
Boris Pitel.
