Disabling BIOS access to a device is not the same as disabling the device. Linux will still use it. However, some BIOSes do also disable the IRQ from the device, leaving you with a device visible to Linux but no way of getting IRQs from it. This can cause a problem with some USB interfaces. Better to either just enable it and ignore it, or alias the module for the driver for it to null to prevent Linux from initialising the controller. Cheers; Leon
