This is one of the goals of microkernel based operating systems such as GNU Hurd or Minix. As for Linux, you can run Xen and have the wifi driver run in a separate "driver domain". I never used xen for that particular purpose, so I can't help you with that, but some papers seem to say this is possible. regards, -- Marcin Owsiany <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://marcin.owsiany.pl/ GnuPG: 1024D/60F41216 FE67 DA2D 0ACA FC5E 3F75 D6F6 3A0D 8AA0 60F4 1216 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
