For the most (all?) busses (usb, pci ..) there are two Ids to identify the hardware. The first one is the Vendor Id (0x104c == TI as you said) the second one is to distinguish the product => ProdId. With these two values you can recognize the hardware in most cases (If the manufaturer sets the Ids right) and the drivers can be loaded. This is most important for USB and I guess too for pcmcia (hotplug) since there the kernel decides on a table which driver to use. If there is a not known ProdId but there is a hardware that is the same (the same driver can be used) hotplug will not be functional, but the driver can be loaded by hand. It would be good for future releases to have a web-form for reporting: Field Vendor Id Field Product Id Field Module Field description how to get this hardware to run. Not to forget that one hardware could have more then one driver to get it to run (f.i. nvidia) Hope this is not to wrong and confuse ;) -- Regards Steffen ____________________ counter.li.org : #296567. machine: 181800 vdr-box : 87 ____________________ Please dont CC me, since if I have replied I'll watch the tread.
