As Denis said we are happy to test other drivers, granted I do not have *that* many cards on hand to test. I understand the kernel needs to support all kinds of hardware, yes, but what is your concern with this patch specifically? What kinds of issues do you foresee this causing? Or is it that you simply don't know any you'd like to find out? Thanks, James
