HI, Jan and others, in the current stage of RT-FireWire development, I am facing the problem of using a timer for scheduled re-transaction and bus reset issue. In Linux 2.6 FireWire stack, this is supported by the nice timered workqueue of kernel2.6. Now, I am seaching for a easiest approach to build or reuse a timered workqueue in RTAI for the RT-FireWire stack. Actually, the same problem also exists in Ethernet. If I am correct, the timer is initialized in Ethernet device driver for each network device (I only checked rt_eepro100.c), but in RTnet, the timer is still based on the linux timer support. So I am wondering if we need a timered workqueue extension like in Linux 2.6 to RTAI.
