One should not flame Windows for making PnP devices work when Linux scrambles things... An who knows, maybe he had never turned the system on/off but only had "rebooted."
Flaming times here? Linux works where the there are good drivers around. There is not a pnp problem... Except from some vendors who do notdo the pnp part in the standard way.
I have noticed even some vendors, specifically RedHat, mention using Windows to determine resource usage and
Completely unuseful. They only help windows users to migrate in that way. I had to use Windows to make
sure everything was working and documented before I proceeded into the slightly broken but wondeful SuSE world of 7.2 Professional...
