I applied the patch after applying your 2 other patches:
1) "eliminating whitespace"
2) "Switch the AW9D-MAX over from port probing to the
preferred DMI probe method".
The patch applied and the module loaded without any problems.
Syslog Entry:
Jan 8 10:49:36 localhost kernel: abituguru3: found Abit uGuru3,
motherboard ID: 001A
Thank You Guys Very Much,
Nick Pasich
