This can be easily solved through some udev's rules, unfortunately I lack the hardware for this test from time to time, so I would need you to send me the corresponding lspci -v from this device. As soon as you provide me with that information I'll be able to go on and upload a fix for this. Cheers, Dererk -- BOFH excuse #312: incompatible bit-registration operators
