Great. We can do some of this. I would like to ask, what mimimal
types of tests do you expect to execute for a driver? If several
can respond to the types of testing they perform, we can start
a checklist. Then, additional items can be added to fill in the
holes. I've asked Cliff White of OSDL to help put this together.
