Subject: Re: [patch] pegasus.c

This is another attempt on sending the pegasus patch with Alpine.  I know 
it's even worse, but i've attached gzip-ed version just in case.

Here goes a brief description of what's changed:

---
This patch is fixing a driver bug triggered when malformed string is 
passed to the 'devid' module parameter.  The expected format is:

 	"device_name:vendor_id:device_id:flags"

but it turned out people often type:

 	"somename::0"

instead of:

 	"somename:::0"

which typically ends up dereferencing null pointer.

cheers,
Petko
