yes ... i agree ... i send a mail to sis to get the information i need to
implemend this discconnect function for the sis735 but they did not
respond at all to my mail. this is not verry nice ... we want to make
drivers and bug fixes so that their products will work correctly under
linux, and they don't care at all sometimes ...

yes ... it would be verry nice when amd and the cipset corp. would be a
little bit more supportive.
