Isn't there a list of IDs it > was aware of that should be merged into newPnP ASAP? The old PnP code was matching on the card vendor ID. The new pnp code treats each logical device on it's own and matches by logical ID.. (It's actually far more useful that way as most cards have their own manufacturer ID but quite often when they are compatable with something they use that as their logical ID.) For example, there are a zillion Soundblaster PnP compatables with their own unique vendor ID but with a CTLxxxx ID on the logical device that implements the sb parts of the card. We're not doing this because we enjoy pain and suffering, it's because it'll be better and more robust in the long run. Unfortunately, there was no canonical list of logical ID's on the cards we used to recognize. So I repeat for the list.. If you've got a card that used to work or does work under BIOS backwards compat preconfig with 'controller pnp0' disabled, please send us a dmesg and pnpinfo -v so we can add the ID's. 'controller pnp0' is quite likely to become non-optional soon so we can use the motherboard resource lists.
