Network driiver dependency on other driver  
Hi all,

I am writing a wireless network driver according to io-net framework. 
The architecture of my driver contains two drivers:
            High-level network driver which follows io-net framework and uses low driver to communicate with actual 
hardware
So is there any concept like exporting low-level driver functions (as in Linux) so that my high-level driver can use 
them ? 
 


Thanks & Regards

io-net has no such concept.  If you just want to separate
things internal to your driver you can use any interface /
calling convention you think makes sense.  If you're trying
to export functionality to userland you can look at an
ioctl() / devctl() interface or providing your own resmgr
interface.
