ABSTRACT:
A method and system for providing a user with interactive control of device driver configuration. In a preferred embodiment, during configuration of a device driver composed of multiple component drivers, each of a plurality of available component drivers is invoked for potential inclusion in the device driver. For each available component driver, a component driver definition file is provided which contains definition statements. Also for each available component driver, an entry in a parameter registry is provided which contains a list of configuration parameters to be passed to the available component driver when it is invoked. Upon user selection of a component driver, the corresponding component driver definition file is read and the definition statements from the corresponding component driver definition file are provided to the user. In accordance with user responses to the definition statements, the configuration parameters are assigned appropriate values and updated in the corresponding entry in the parameter registry. As a result, upon a next configuration of the device driver, the modified configuration parameters are passed to the selected component driver when invoked for inclusion in the device driver.
