I said that the buffer inside of netvsc_device should be made an indirect pointer and thus allocated seperately. Thus you're still kzalloc() net_device, but net_device->cb_buffer becomes "unsigned char *" and another allocation is made for it. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
