Instead of raising real issues that may remain in the driver, I was presented with "non-proof" that bus-adapter-device architecture I'm using is somehow bad and the driver should be turned into a monolithic blob, using config variables to disable unneeded functionality. Considering, that udev handles automatic loading of the drivers just fine (so it's not an end user issue at any rate), I don't see any justification for the change. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
