I was going through this driver for my learning. In this driver code, I didn't see any function for claiming/probing the device. I have seen only the device table containing the list of devices supported by this driver. I wonder, how the device claiming happens in this linux 2.6 kernel tg3 driver. I could see only the macro 'MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(pci, tg3_pci_tbl);' used in this driver. Is this relates to the device claiming ? could you please help me in explain me the process how the device getting claimed by this tg3 driver ? Thanks,
