I assume this means the BIOS does have expresscard hotplugging support. (Given the fact that the laptop ships with an expresscard slot, this did not really surprise me). Still, I get no sign whatsoever that the thing is being inserted in Linux. Is there really no way to rescan the PCI bus manually, or to get the hotplug drivers to work? BTW, I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy (development version) with the Ubuntu-patched Linux 2.6.22 kernel. Please help, I'd really like to get this to work. /Mikael > > thanks, > > greg k-h > -- Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
