Some time ago I noticed that there are some SCSI devices (mostly RAID arrays sold as Compaq or Dell PERC devices) which share the same vendor:device id, but real device (and thus driver) must be recognized by subsystem vendor:device id.
Now I found the same with network devices: 1737:1032 is supported by r8169 or skge depending on subsystem device id. Another thing is that current kernel version dependency (2.4.x or 2.6.x) is too weak - in 2.6.x drivers are renamed and devices are moved from one driver to another much more frequently than ever before. (e.g.: megaraid/megaraid_mbox+megaraid_sas, mptscsih/mptspi+mptfc+mptsas, sk98lin/sk98lin+skge, rivafb/rivafb+nvidiafb) -- Jakub Bogusz http://qboosh.cs.net.pl/ _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
