The eeepc-laptop driver then hides the device because it's no longer there. Now, it's entirely possible that this behaviour is no longer present on the 1005h. That's fine, and it necessitates changing the behaviour of the driver. But it's not a reason for removing the functionality entirely, because the 700s, 900s and earlier 1000 series *do* require that PCI hotplugging be peformed. (Well. There's a separate situation where the PCI runtime power management code is going to interfere with the way eeepc-laptop does things, and this functionality is going to need to be added to the PCI core and removed from eeepc-laptop) -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
