I know that and my intention was that we _NEED_ documentation to support it 
on _ALL_ chipsets out there.

AMD should notice how many people using there CPUs and I think they do know 
it.

So let's make a call.

Andreas Jaeger (SuSE) told me that maybe he could help.
He got the USB patch information for the AMD Irongate after a few days out of 
them...

I can't compare 'cause I have the AMD Irongate C4...;-)

I hope we get some info, now.
