Side note: - for onboard sound hardware integrated in the mainboard southbridge the PCI-ID is only a partially help. yes, the drivers need to support the southbridge and thus need to know the PCI-ID; but they also need to support the AC97/HD-Audio codec that the board uses as is connected behind the southbridge. That's often the case -- but not always. There are further quite a few mainboards and laptops out in the wild that seem to need specific workarounds for proper function. So relying only on the PCI-ID for onboard sound hardware can fire back now and then - similar for softmodems -- the modem chips that are located behind the southbridge are the crucial part; the PCI-ID isn't a big help here - ATA-Controller these days sometimes change their PCI-ID depending on a BIOS-Setting (especially boards with Intel Chipsets, where you can configure the SATA-Controller as "Legacy", "Enhanced/Native" or RAID -- each with a different ID). So you need to be careful there, too. CU thl -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
