Hi everyone. Like everyone else, I've been glued to the TV/net during the
last few days, so we can expect more activity after the weekend. Stay tuned
for my submission of a more detailed design proposal during the next week,
we can start hammering and moulding then. Until then, I suggest you read
the BeBook kernel kit, where it talks about add-ons (which is what drivers
are) and modules (an API inside kernel space to service the add-ons). It is
critical that existing network card drivers be binary compatible with our
module and net server implementation, since I dont feel like writing 20
different network card drivers.
Glad to here from you, Emmanuel.
