It looks pretty wrong in the BIOS. Here are the entries for 2:3.0 and 2:4.0. This translates to (bus,devfn) of (2,0x18) and (2,0x20) {0x2,0x18, {{0x4, 0xdef8}, {0, 0xdef8}, \ {0, 0xdef8}, {0, 0xdef8}}, 0x7, 0}, First, the slot is 7, not 0 as it should be f

Ron, is the T23 running linuxbios? When I joined the list (though I later left) and was reading back-issues, I vaguely remember you as having said you couldn't get it on your lappy due to IBM's chipset detail stinginess; has any/all of that changed, or am I perhaps hallucinating? I ha
