I've posted yet another new patch for the DAC960 driver for 2.5.46. It's in

	http://www.osdl.org/archive/dmo/DAC960_2.5.46_V1/

This one uses the new pci_register_driver() interface. I've restructured the code to use the new device probe method. This make the new sysfs file system work.

This uncovered one bug in sysfs. The DAC960 driver puts its devices into a subdirectory "/dev/rd". So the names constructed in sysfs need to reflect this. At the top level, it does OK, creating names like "rd!c0d0". The "!" in the name does cause some problems for shells, so you need to put the name in single quotes to cd into those directories.

But, the substitution of "!" for "/" isn't carried through to the lower levels of the tree. So, you end of with names containing the "/" character. There's no way the kernel can ever parse such a name properly. But I'm sure that'll be fixed soon.
