No argument here, but miscellaneous C code that reads and writes to hardware from userland is not a driver and presents many problems, not the least of which is being preempted. What are needed are Linux (kernel) Drivers in the strict sense so that you can use DMA, etc. and with RTAI and the recent kernel facilities, achieve real time operation. Interrupts are an issue, but ways have been found to make them work so intelligent hardware can be used to good advantage. COMEDI is an example of what is needed to really make use of DAQ cards, for example. Something similar for the Woodhead protocol cards would be really great as well, they might then sell enough to get the price down where it's feasible to use them.
