I think that is getting a bit complicated for distros though. There is no reason to ever want 535 only. We don't want to give people options we don't actually support. The options we have in the current driver, is you get 535 + 570, and we give you the option to say I only need 570. If we add 580, we add another option and fix it then, but I don't see the point in overdesigning this for now. Dave. >
