Look for 'probe', 'id_table', etc. I don't think there is support in the current tree for a controller that supports physical hotplugging of PCI adapters, yet. Compaq has a driver outside the tree to do such a thing (needing only very minor kernel patches), see http://opensource.compaq.com -- Jeff Garzik | "You see, in this world there's two kinds of Building 1024 | people, my friend: Those with loaded guns MandrakeSoft | and those who dig.
