Ahh, that’s better. Now let’s see how it holds up under prolonged memory pressure.

Adi Shamir, the S in RSA, will be giving a colloquium talk at the Technion today. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll attend. Around 0700 AM I fell asleep after tonight’s hacking session, and only woke up now. The office awaits…

Looking into pci bridge scanning for wlix. If I read linooks driver/pci/probe.c correctly, it’s actually the OS that gives the bridge its “PCI device number” that is later used to access it?! That means I need to either choose arbitrary numbers for the scanning (but I don’t know what sort of restrictions exist on them…) or emulate what linooks does, which requires a lot more effort. Hmpf. More probing required.
