So why add a kernel module? Because you must write to and read from io-ports and I think this should be done in the kernel. I guess the userspace program you are talking about is acer_ec.pl? A perl script which needs very much cpu time for a functionality which can be handled in kernelspace without causing any big troubles. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
