AFAIK the tifm_7xx1 module belongs to the other card reader I have on this laptop (see device ID 09.04.0). This one is a cardbus device and I can simply disconnect it on startup, and the tifm_7xx1 modulo is never loaded. Anyway I've tried without this card and module and it still doesn't work. The other card reader (device 09:04.2) is the hardwired one and I can't disconnect it :( If only I was sure that this was the problem, I would gladly open my laptop and cut this card reader's wires :) Ruben - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
