Since device probing is usually done at system initialization time, the probe code makes several fatal assumptions about the environment it's running in, for example it turns the adapter driver into polled mode. I haven't been able to successfully use it on the ahc driver at work (and i'm rather surprised that it works flawlessly on the aha and bt drivers at home :). Last time we've been discussing this here, the tenor was ``Yes, it needs to be changed.'' ;-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
