I didn't say it was as hard as a network stack :P
just said it was harder than I thought at first :)))
Btw, in anycase there will still be a /dev/parallel/* driver that follows the
API defined in
file:///boot/develop/headers/be/drivers/parallel_driver.h
So the print team shouldn't worry about the parallel transport addon.
the DGL_* things aren't of any interest to them.
I think I will first write a test harness for this driver to check the IOCTL
behaviour, and to show how to access it. (like the audio driver API which has
some weird IOCTLS... nearly everything is passed by reference, except *some*
which are passed by value... this has caused me countless amount of KDL :))))
