Ugh, really? Module parameters suck rocks. No other way to do this dynamically? This affects all devices for the driver, is that ok? And how does anyone know to change this or not? Why would it be changed? Why can't the kernel get this right on its own? thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
