| |
It would be nice to have devices compiled into the kernel probe in slot order, ie.
slot 1 - video card - fbdev/nothing slot 2 - ethernet card - tulip slot 3 - 2nd ethernet card - eepro100
However this makes initialization hairy, because you cannot init the hardware at init_module time. For new PCI drivers I think this is an easy problem -- just delay when probe() is called -- but it seems like the new PCI API will need a bit of reworking before slot order probing is possible.
