Nope, that should be good enough, does it not work for you? But note, that just lets you remove the pci device virtually (not for real, don't go yanking the device after doing that.) It doesn't let you add it back in, you need to reboot to get the device back. Hm, or was the "rescan the bus" code ever added to fakephp? I know there was patches for it floating around, but I can't remember if I ever merged them or not, sorry. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecar...@nl.linux.org Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
