planet:0[root]>setpci -s 00:04.0 COMMAND BASE_ADDRESS_0 BASE_ADDRESS_1
0006
fed98004
00000000
planet:0[root]>setpci -s 00:04.0 BASE_ADDRESS_0=0xdfa00000
planet:0[root]>setpci -s 00:04.0 BASE_ADDRESS_0 BASE_ADDRESS_1
fed98004
00000000
planet:0[root]


So it seems to work but does not change the base address (or was that what
you meant by "does not work")

planet:0[root]>setpci -s 00:04.0 COMMAND BASE_ADDRESS_0 BASE_ADDRESS_1
0006
fed98004
00000000
planet:0[root]>setpci -s 00:04.0 COMMAND=0
planet:0[root]>setpci -s 00:04.0 BASE_ADDRESS_0=0xdfa00000
planet:0[root]>setpci -s 00:04.0 BASE_ADDRESS_0 BASE_ADDRESS_1
fed98004
00000000
planet:0[root]>

Ie, same thing-- no change in the address.
