I doubt we all got samples on the one bad batch... It *is* a real problem and if the solution is correct then I support it. Maybe we need a quick feedback from current users: do you guys find that the ports are detected as they are labelled (white silk screen) on the board or do they show up out of order (as listed above by Milan)? -- Eyal Lebedinsky (eyal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) <http://samba.org/eyal/> attach .zip as .dat - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
