Hmmm, i don't know what happens if a boot enabled device is disabled, but from my point of view i would start at 1 :-D Probably also the probing function could also enable the device, so the subsystems don't have to do it on there own? But because i don't know PCI stuff very well i don't know if this makes sense at all... Thank you very much!
