I can fix that later. Could you explain why the existing interfaces are not sufficient that do what you describe? man adjtime man adjtimex man clock_settime ? Why would you need this to support a new hardware clock? You want the clock to run at a different speed from system time? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
