Dmitry,

  Komali has done some experiments with changing /lib/udev/rules.d/80-drivers.rules along the
lines you suggested and that seems to be the trick (I'm waiting for clarification from her).
What's the mechanism for getting that change committed to the various repositories?

  Also, your fix for the other problem which Komali reported (not being able to remove
cxgb4vf once loaded) hasn't hit Linis' main repository yet as far as I can see.  Should we
be doing something about that?

Casey
