Linux kernel doesn't do namespaces in the code, so every new driver needs to worry about global symbols clashingThis driver is called mana, yet the code uses ana. It would be good to resolve this inconsistency as well. Ideally, you want to prefix everything with ana_ or mana_, depending on what you choose, so we have a clean namespace. Andrew
Thanks for the suggestion! Let me think about this and work out a solution.
