Pen now working without kernel module

Hi,

updating the kernel I was again annoyed by having to recompile the
fpi2002 kernel module. So I thought about porting it into a user space
application. Well, I could even get it work without having to compile a
C program :) Ported it directly to a shell script.

You need:

  - root access
  - /dev/ports
  - pci utilities (setpci)
  - GNU coreutils (dd and od)
  - the Bash shell
  - and of course the shell script itself "fpi2002.sh"

All this should be provided by almost any Linux distro.

A shell script cannot lock interrupts or prevent task switches. No
guarantee that this will work under all circumstances. I won't take
responsibility for any damage you do to your laptop. You have been
warned.

regards,

David
