Dear sirs,
I still haven't heard anything about this patch. I don't even know if it
reached the mailing lists?
I would like to see it merged, so if there is a reason why you don't want
to include it as is, please could you let me know, so I can produce a
better version?
I have discovered that the MPTABLE exists on the net6501 and uniquely
identifies the device, so we could use it to refuse to load the platform
driver on anything other than a net6501:
[ 0.000000] MPTABLE: OEM ID: Soekris
[ 0.000000] MPTABLE: Product ID: net6501
I don't know how to go further and integrate this with a plug and play
framework, since the device does not have ACPI in the BIOS (yet), nor any
identifiable PCI IDs as far as I know. Do you have any advice on this?
Cheers, Chris.
