When the patch was here (http://www.fi.muni.cz/~xslaby/lnx/lnx-pci_find-2.6.13-r3g4_3.patch -- it'll be certainly sliced into many pieces; of course I didn't cc you :( ), they told me, that the better way is to let it be, because it signify the driver as old api based, if there are some warnings, so I want people to stop using the old functions. So you want me to continue producing the patches, that removes it? regards, jiri
