I never modify the sbpcd stuff when recomiling a kernel.
Yes, but we're using the modularised driver. How do I pass it a command line argument ? In any case, if the driver is going to have to spend 10 minutes probing various addresses if I don't supply it that command string, surely it should refuse to load at all instead of spending the 10 minutes ?
