Ick, NO!!!! Do not use pci_find_dev() to get your pci device you want to bind to. Use pci_register_driver() and friends instead to register a pci driver with the pci core. That way your driver will work properly with hotplug systems, and with the 2.6 kernel. Please read the pci.txt file in the Documentation directory for more information, and move your drivers into this century... Oh, and pci_find_dev() will be going away soon, you have been warned. greg k-h -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
