We do offer a facility to add PCI IDs at runtime though so this binary patching of the kernel module is unnecessary. I'll update the wiki and that forum. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
