I hesitate to hide the PNP IDs altogether. They seem analogous to PCI vendor/device IDs. We expose the PCI IDs directly and let user-space map them into human-readable strings. In fact, the mostly-forgotten lspnp package already has a pnp.ids file with these mappings. So I vote for keeping the mapping there. - 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
