This should work with 3.2 too. As long as current gcc stays as slow as it is I'm going to stick to something old.

Do you know where it went? :) Probably > a lot of other boards are sad about its disappearance also. CONFIG_PCI_AUTO went the way to /dev/zero; it not only made the PCI maintainers make funny sounds it simply seemed superfluous - the PCI code is supposed to be able to fully configure a PCI bus itself if only it's used properly.
