Hi Marcelo,

2.4.30-rc1 works fine here on athlon-SMP and sparc64-smp. BTW, the athlon
uses the e1000 driver (which has been updated since 2.4.29) with no trouble
at all.

I'll post a 2.4.29-hf5 in a few hours, just the time to put the thing online,
it already builds on the same machines.

Cheers,
Willy

drivers/pci/pci.ids is lagging http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids
by a fair amount, >6300 lines diff

I don't know policy on this reference, just tracked a change in kernel
didn't reflect in lspci and discovered kernel and pciutils have their
own copies of pci.ids file.

Martin Mares used to maintain pci.ids list in v2.4, last update was long ago:

[PATCH] pci.ids for 2.4.20-pre2

Hi Marcelo,

After a long sleep, I'm sending another batch of PCI ID's. These include
entries accumulated sent to me in past few months and also ID's having
appeared in 2.5.x.

I dont have a problem with pci.ids additions given there is a demand
for it.

I'm a bit late, but here's a patch that fixes a module parameter
description typo in eepro100. The problem was located in the 2.6
source and a fix should be in 2.6-mm soon.

Thanks.
