Be aware that there may be more turmoil in future. The preferred solution for linux ACPI is to do whatever the More Popular OS does. See the recent rejection of a similar patch by thinkpad-acpi developers. There may be a shiny new ACPI interface we need to write a driver for. Looking on the bright side, a new driver can easily use different pci hotplug code (or perhaps no hotplug code). Regards Alan
