Any kind. I was looking around to find simplest of USB and PCI devices. I Found one article by Greg http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7353 written a long time back, so maybe something like this. If I can find some cheap hardware like it I would like to use it to decorate my desk for new year :P. But while I find a simple hardware what would I need to know to fake such a simple device?

Well let's just say it emulates network adapter (PCI right?) so wouldn't a default driver exist for that? So I should just remove that driver and use my driver instead?
