I don't see how async > probing changes that. async probing also keeps device numbering stable. As long as the device responds within ten seconds (and the current code has half a second as the timeout), it'll get the same number it would have had, even though other hosts have successfully completed their probes during that time. -- Intel are signing my paycheques ... these opinions are still mine "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours.
