For me, that's the only way to silent unwanted pops on ens1370. It may work with via, too. Magic command is: /sbin/setpci -v -s 01:09.0 latency_timer=40 You have to substitute 01:09.0 with your card's PCI location and play around with latency_time value. -- Tomasz Torcz "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station [EMAIL PROTECTED]wagon filled with backup tapes." -- Jim Gray - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
