So, the fact that it shouldn't have been released doesn't really fix the problem that it seems to be out in the field and causing problems. Can I take it that the proposed patch is an acceptable fix? Especially if LSI hasn't officially released it, the proposed patch shouldn't affect any LSI sanctioned drivers. James
