Am I > missing something? The N entries are regex patterns. "bcm281*" matches any name starting with "bcm28", followed by 0 or more 1's. So "bcm2835-audio" matches.

They probably intended something along N: bcm281.* N: bcm113.* N: bcm216.* Bjørn _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
