Sorry, you're saying that anyone who has found one of these cards and wants to plug them into a hotplug slot in their shiny new server is just SOL? That makes no sense, Jeff. We've fixed *so* many old drivers to confirm to these rules, why's this one so special? I'd understand if it were only found on motherboards, but it can be found on cards. Plus it silences a warning. Isn't that enough reason of its own? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
