http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.36/drivers/pci/probe.c http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.36/drivers/pci/search.c The code in probe.c will detect the device. This is matched up with the driver (assuming it was registered) in search.c. Inspite of the comments on the above two links I am not able to understand it as how it is happening. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to [email protected] Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
