Hi,
is there a way for dynamically loading/unloading a driver or do I have to
restart Haiku every time?


Drivers in Haiku are loaded strictly on demand ; if nothing has an
open file handle to the device, the driver is unloaded. Depending on
what kind of driver you're dealing with, that may or may not be
trivial to arrange.

OK,
so to test an init_hardware() function I have to restart Haiku everytime if I understand correctly?
