The driver already had a table for determining 64bit DMA based on the PCI ID.
I guess there's a mistake in the table for this particular card. I think that
changing the following line to remove the AMR_ID_DO_SG64 flag will fix the
problem:
{0x1000, 0x1960, AMR_ID_QUARTZ | AMR_ID_DO_SG64 | AMR_ID_PROBE_SIG},
Actually, what's probably going on is that the driver is only looking at the
vendor and device id's, and is ignoring the subvendor and subdevice id's that
would give it a better clue on the exact hardware in use. Fixing the driver to
look at all 64bits of id info (and take into account wildcards where needed)
would be a good project, if anyone is interested.
Btw, I *HATE* the "chip" and "card" identifiers used in pciconf. Can we change
it to emit the standard (sub)vendor/(sub)device terminology?
