The problem is that the diff between 9.1 (3.2.3) and cooker (3.2.4) is 1000 lines long.. It's odd that it doesn't work for you anymore. And what if instead putting back the old line, you remove the # in front of the manfid line, line #796? It seems though that in the file, it's either version or manfid, bot both, dunno why :/. Is it because "version" is supposed to be enough for detecting your card, I don't know.. Then the reason why the manfid is quoted is that there are several different "version" lines for the same manfid as yours :/. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
