Sorry I didn't realise this earlier. Please note, it's not "udev" that is doing this reading, it's a script/program that Red Hat has added to the udev rules to do such a thing for every pci device. There is nothing in the default set of udev rules that do this that I know of. Blame the packager, not the tool here :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
