From 2ef473de1ee62eb31b6b98885562cdb4389b01dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wim Van Sebroeck Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2007 22:45:30 +0100 Subject: [WATCHDOG] pcwd_usb.c - get heartbeat from dip switches The PCWD cards normally use the heartbeat that is set via the dip-switches of the card. There are only 3 switches, thus 8 combinations that each have a certain heartbeat. The card can however be programmed with a heartbeat from 1 till 65535 seconds. This is what our driver does: it programs the heartbeat on the card. There are however a lot of people that don't know that we set the heartbeat of the watchdog card to the value provided by the heartbeat module parameter. Instead they think that the heartbeat value is the same as set by the dip-switches. This patch changes the driver so that at startup you can take the heartbeat from the dip-switches. You do this by setting the heartbeat module parameter to 0. This patch also makes this the default behaviour.
