I think it might actually be Peter's change to the "this card needs bounce buffers" code that did the trick. The BT driver still needs a lot of work. Before I ripped the bt742a I used to test the new driver on out of my machine, I noticed that our reset code for the adapter would fail if no cable was attached. I don't have specs for the Buslogic line, so I can't correct the problem. Does anyone have the specs for these cards? I also haven't heard if the PCI probe I wrote for the 946 cards was sucessful and we still need the device ID for the 956 (and support for device ids > 7). -- Justin T.
