The driver already had a table for determining 64bit DMA based on the =
PCI ID. I guess there's a mistake in the table for this particular =
card. I think that changing the following line to remove the =
AMR_ID_DO_SG64 flag will fix the problem:
{0x1000, 0x1960, AMR_ID_QUARTZ | AMR_ID_DO_SG64 | AMR_ID_PROBE_SIG},
Actually, what's probably going on is that the driver is only looking at =
the vendor and device id's, and is ignoring the subvendor and subdevice =
id's that would give it a better clue on the exact hardware in use. =
Fixing the driver to look at all 64bits of id info (and take into =
account wildcards where needed) would be a good project, if anyone is =
interested.
Btw, I *HATE* the "chip" and "card" identifiers used in pciconf. Can we =
change it to emit the standard (sub)vendor/(sub)device terminology?
