Jeff observed a problem with sky2 driver where if pci_request_regions failed, the probe code would disable the device. Since if request_regions fails, this means another device is conflicting, disabling the device seems to be the wrong.
This problem seems to occur in almost all PCI drivers I look at: 8139cp, amd8111e, b44, bnx2, dl2k, e100, epic100 forcedeth, r8169, rrunner, s2io, saa9730, skge, tg3, typhoon, via-velocity, sk98lin, olympic, tulip(s) dscc4, farsync, pci200syn, wanxl, orinoco Is it worth fixing all those? How about a kernel janitor task? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
