I am in fact doing that ..

	{ PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_MANTIS, PCI_DEVICE_ID_MANTIS_R11) },
	{ 0 },

	.name = "Mantis PCI combo driver",
	.id_table = mantis_pci_table,
	.probe = mantis_pci_probe,
	.remove = mantis_pci_remove,
};

static int __devinit mantis_pci_init(void)
{ 
	*return* pci_register_driver(&mantis_pci_driver);
}

I will just check it up again to see what went wrong ..

That was not meant to go into the kernel straight away, as it needs 
*lot* of work, the PCI part is only something extremely small.

Yes, i set it to the default latency as specified by vendor.. But 
temporarily to test the card ..

Hmm.. I thought after i make a call to pci_get_device(), i have to do a 
pci_dev_put() after the usage ..
I was a bit lost when to use pci_dev_put() in this case.
