Automatic driver reloading
Submitted by epr on Sun, 04/18/2004 - 17:30.
A small step for a developer, a giant leap for JNode....
Drivers are now automatically unloaded (and their devices stopped) when the plugin that contained the driver is removed/replaced.
This means that reloading of drivers can now be done without a reboot!
For example "plugin reload org.jnode.driver.video.nvidia" will cause the NVidia driver to stop, the plugin to be reloaded and restart the device.
See also Dynamic plugin reloading.
