Nevermind, this is correct. But the bigger problem is that userspace doesn't know when these attributes show up. So tools like udev and HAL and others can't look for them as they never get notified, and they don't even know if they should be looking for them or not. Is there any way to tie these attributes to the "main" pci device so that they get created before the device is announced to the world? Doing that would solve this issue. 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
