Hi Kristen, I'm sorry for my late reply. I understood the issue which you are encountered. When the _STA is not defined, acpi assumes that the device is always there. But actually, the device is not connected. So, when the device is added, acpi_device structure has already exist. Is my understanding right? I've tried to solve this issue. But I could not find better solution, unfortunately. So I think your idea is good now, Thanks, MUNE - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
