Currently, you have to be in the kernel in order for the IOSerialBSDClient to find you and publish /dev nodes on your behalf. I am not familiar with the USB side of the things but it would be best if the driver could be done in user space (plus this gives you the ability to load file information). We've considered adding "trampoline" code that would allow user-space entities to publish /dev nodes (particularly for tape drivers). This seems like another reasonable use of such a mechanism. We don't have anything as formal as a plan for doing this, just an idea we are kicking around. - Dean _______________________________________________ darwin-kernel mailing list | darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/darwin-kernel Do not post admin requests to the list.
