well if someone builds their kernel with pci strings turned off I persume they know what they are doing, the objection I received was that the strings are already there so use them, and if there are some missing, fix the pci ids list... and that is what we are doing now so we still get the string one thing we might want to do it change the strings in the BSD driver to be the same as the ones the Linux kernel uses, that way at least it is all consistent..
