That would be good. I'm also having similer idea that loading kernel loadable module for legacy non-PnP devices specifying thier resources, like; load pcm load sbc port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x15 Or, null driver module maybe just enough to hold resources; load resourceholder port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 load resourceholder port drq 5 # BTW, it seems that the discussion is away from ep driver and -stable already :) # Should we move to somewhere?
