In the "old way" there are many compatible chipsets which work (to some or another value of "work") with the i82365 module to drive their bus-layer. In the new way, old style intels are i82365 but the newer true intels (and some being compatible to it, instead of the old one) are handled by yenta. I dunno why it's called yenta, only that is what Linus called it when he decided it needed to be split off. (maybe it talks too much :D) Anyways the detect mechanism that spots whether you need yenta or something else is not too bright, plus, if you need the yenta but your modules.conf say load the old-style one you could get bad behavior, if it even loads. Hope that makes sense. I've got a Ricoh bridge myself, I've been ok so far but have to pay attention to the warning notes that go by in the kernel changelogs occasionally. * Heather Stern * star@ many places... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
