That must be before the 2.5 series ... Everything in the BK history (which admittedly only goes back to 7/21/2002) has PCI before PNP. Wouldn't it be a bug if PNP described a resource that can be discovered by standard PCI discovery? I think we should move PNP before PCI and fix whatever resource problems crop up. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
