What exactly are you trying to do?
I am writing a driver for a TAOS evaluation module. This device is a limited SMBus master, connecting to the serial port. The evaluation chip is connected to the SMBus. In my case this is a TSL2550 light sensor, but virtually all compatible TAOS evaluation modules could be supported.
I2C bus drivers have to be implemented in the kernel, so user-space isn't an option for me.
I just posted a first (working) version of my driver, if you want to take a look: http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/i2c/2007-June/001508.html
