Trent,

Does the i2c-dev module need to be loaded for the above to work?


Jarod,

If your eeprom looks good you might want to try rebooting your machine
with a "pci=nommconf" kernel command line argument.

My hypothesis being that it's harder for something to muck with the PCI
config space registers of the CX2388x whne they aren't mapped into
memory.

Andy
