Thank you for your interest on it, Mulyadi, and thanks for checking if the post in the mailing list.

To answer your question,

a. I will check both the base addresses on next Monday since I left already from office. I will compare, and update it. BTW, I checked the base address in PCI configuration and /proc/iomem, so it can be verified that the base address is valid. Also there is only one device on the PCI bus anyway.

b. I have the datasheet for the device to check if the values are correct or not. So, I know which value is correct. The invalid value is 0xFFFF.

Thanks again, Mulyadi, and have a wonderful day.

Daniel
