I'm at the point now where config complains about *'d devices and
needs-count.

I've found the prototypes for a character device with:
	read
	write
	open
	close
	ioctl

If I use "jag* at pci? dev ? function ? " I get an error.

If I use "jag0 at pci? dev ? function ?
          jag1 at pci? dev ? function ?" it works.

Now to write the real driver code....
