Ok thats nothing to do with I2O itself. Some hardware has the messaging layer built into it as the messenger is very simple and stuff like the 21554 are using in I2O controllers. You might find i2o_pci.c and the i2o_core message passing code interesting but probably not that much. The I2O

When I look at the source from the i2o driver, i find that my module will have to primary create an handler to respond to the messages, but does the configuration of the i2o should be done by my module or it is gonna be done by the functions I cant use right now ? (i2o_pci_enable...) You are

If I understand correctly, some vendor would put I2O messaging hardware but they would use it in a non-standard way ? So, if they dont support the I2O protocol with their hardware, I will have to do it in another way... Is there a simple way to find out if my device support I2O protocol ?
