I would be curious to know if it's just a simple not being aware of all Chipset ID's. I know a while back when I first got my laptop, the bcm43xx driver did not recognize my card, 4319 chipset. Being as how it's the 4318 and more. I went upstream, they asked me a bit of info. Turns out the driver did not have info for 4319. They added it, and my card was recognized. Now granted it did take a bit of time before those changes were added to kernel sources. I had to apply a minor patch for a bit to not use external stuff. Then there were some other issues, and still some minor ones. Not sure if that would apply here, where the hda-intel driver works for some and not others. Likely have different chipsets that both "should" work with that driver. If the driver is aware of all chipset ID's. -- William L. Thomson Jr. Gentoo/Java
