At one point were we resetting the device when we unloaded the module, and we could only reinitialise the driver if we did so within 5 seconds (the 31.09 boot2 timeout). I could have sworn I'd fixed that. It would be useful to be able to reset the device from software when it's in standalone mode -- how hard would it be to fix that? -- dwmw2
