Hi Alan, linux-kernel,
This moves pci_enable_device() in trident.c before any PCI resource access.
Everything else appears to be ok in regards to 2.4 PCI API and return values.

Hi Linus,
I've got a question... I would like where to send my driver
patches...
One month ago, I sent a small update for the orinoco_cs driver
and Wireless Extensions. I didn't put all the changes I had for
orinoco_cs because I believe in small incremental updates limite

How exactly can this work? A single value per file is not very helpful if you
have a thousand values. You could cluster th
