Also, the new PCI-ID policy is to put the defines in the driver itself, near where it is used, instead of collecting them in a single file. The goal is to minimize the number of unused PCI IDs in the tree by keeping the definition near the usage. Cheers, Kyle Moffett -- Somone asked me why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/ philosophy/) software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Schulz had the best answer: "Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do it because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't. That's why I draw cartoons. It's my life." -- Charles Schulz - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
