One other thing: I wasn't sure about my changes to rtl8139_get_regs and rtl8139_get_regs_len. Is what I did there safe? Obviously actually implementing support for PIO reg dumping would be better, but I think that's beyond the scope of what I'm trying to do for now. Dave -- http://www.codemonkey.org.uk
