If the latter, does your system BIOS show any Thunderbolt security options, and if so, what is it set to? Plug in controller that came with the motherboard, specifically an AOC-TBT-DSL5320. Plugs into PCI slot 6 and has a cable running to the GPIO headers on the motherboard as well. It does have a section in the bios with a number of settings, such as enabled and whether or not to ignore the Option ROM, but I don't see anything about security there. ----------------------------------------------- Israel Brewster Systems Analyst II Ravn Alaska 5245 Airport Industrial Rd Fairbanks, AK 99709 (907) 450-7293 ----------------------------------------------- > > -- > 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 -- 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
