Hi, I need the bt848/bt878 driver to find out the motherboard's PCI chipset. IE, Is this Bt878 card sitting on a VIA, SIS, OPTi or INTEL motherboard.
Can this be done? The Bt878 can be programmed to run in "Intel (Full PCI2.1 ompatible) Mode" "Intel 440FX mode" "SIS/VIA/OPTi" mode. Each mode drives the PCI bus mastering slightly differently to cater for bugs/features in various PCI chipsets. Setting the Bt878 to SIS/VIA/OPTi mode fixed some strange machine hangs experienced by a UK user yesterday. I'd like the Bt848 driver to inquire about the PCI bus. To get the VENDOR and DEVICE_ID codes. It can then automatically enable the right mode on Bt878 chips. Any ideas? Ideally I need a method for 2.2.x, 3.x and -current.
