Is this something we *really* need? If so, it needs to have a HUGE WARNING explaining the few cases that it should actually be used, and it should also explicitly block usage against chipsets except for those that have been validated to work. Do you really want to be responsible for the first time some unknowing user runs this against cx88 or some other chipset you never tried it against and it bricks their board? Also, this won't work against newer em28xx chipsets like the em2874 and em2884, which have 16-bit eeproms. And if you corrupt the eeprom on the em2874, you actually *WILL* brick the device (which is why I removed the code that reads the eeprom in the first place). Devin -- Devin J.
