People will have to lookup the new name and if they check updated docs will realize they should have picked up another driver in the past already. That is fair. ;) Most likely, will have to report few new PCI IDs to "fix" those other drivers but that is another story (to make them accept their unrecognized device). ;) How many times is some option renamed between kernel versions so that .config needs a change? The driver is in the tree, still. ;) > > thanks, Me too. ;) M. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
