Why -- what's wrong with reusing that device's address as soon as it's fully disconnected? If you did that, the dev->bus linkage wouldn't be broken ... so those clean failures wouldn't be possible, and the HCDs could be in the business of creating new state for disconnected HW! - Dave _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
