All, Attached is a very small patch against 2.4.8, which I have been sending for a while. It implements a commandline parameter 'pcispeed' which allows the user to define the PCI bus speed with a priori knowledge, so that drivers that care can find it. I spoke about this a while back with you, Martin, and you said the idea sounded alright. If there is any reason this can't go into the next 2.4.x release, please let me know. It has been in use here for months. Tim -- Tim Hockin Systems Software Engineer Sun Microsystems, Cobalt Server Appliances thockin@sun.com
