The library kext example (IOKitWithLibrary) puts the library kext in the PlugIns directory inside of the "master" kext.

We would like to arrange to share a library kext between multiple top level kext.

You can't do this.

You'd have to have a third kext on which each of your others depended.

Hmm, that's a bummer. Not quite sure I understand what the difference would be. I think this is what I was asking for. kext1 & kext2 depend on library_kext

Why not investigate making the 'conditional' parts of your driver family into plugins?

That sounds great. I thought that's what I was doing. Any pointers for how to do this? A little background. We have one kext that is loaded all the time (/System/Library/Extensions) that depends on the library kext. The second kext is only loaded sometimes. In fact, we don't want to ship the second kext at all, but rather use it only for testing purposes.
