Hi,

I'm using syscall ioctl() to download parameters to EPLD. So as a ' in'
parameter i'm sending a structure which contains the EPLD file along
with some other information. The size of the structure is 65560
(0x10018). But  the cmd of  ioctl() has only at most 13 bits to encode
the size of the parameter. So i'm not able to send the structure without
which my card wont work at all. How do you solve this problem ?

Thanx
Esha
