KGDB (kgdb.linsyssoft.com) or UML (user mode linux) ....
It seems you don't check your old posts. :-)

well , Thanks for your help,I do checked my old post. but i only have
one computer. So using kgdb is not possible and i just need a tool
telling me which functions be called at the moment to help me
understand the mechanism of my network adapter.So VM maybe is not a
good idea. (1 i'm not sure my adapter can work on it,2 i doubt if it
can work in the same way as in real machine).I'm using printk to trace
functions now and thanks for your information
