Loading two drivers for one device with same device id

[Kym Van Der Linden]

Hi there,

I have a device that has two behaviors (same device id) depending on the firmware installed on the device.

Question: Can I install two drivers for this device, each driver having a different module name?

Thanks,
Kym

Does the device file in /dev go away or just assign a new target instance number. If so then you can try modifying /stand/ioconfig and /etc/ioconfig.

/sbin/ioinit -f /tmp/file (* to load in a new ioconfig *)

Michael,

Does this mean that I can create two drivers for one device with same device and vendor id? I am trying to determine if should create one or two drivers.

Thanks,
Kym
