| |
I tried sending this to Alan Cox, but his mailer complained that we are connected via AboveNet, which blocks ORBS (which is true, and which I have complained about to our ISP many times). It is primary intended for Alan, but anyone else who wants to chime in is welcome to.
Adam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Alan,
Jeff Garzik tells me that you, with some help from some other kernel developers, are hacking on the sound drivers right now. I would like to add PCI MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE entries to three of the four PCI sound drivers: cmpci, cs46xx and nm256_audio. (I have already sent a similar patch to Zach Brown for maestro, although that was a port to the new PCI interface.) This will enable depmod to record the PCI ID's that they care about in /lib/modules/<version>/modules.pcimap, which, in turn, will enable more automated module loading based on hardware configuration.
Would this submission be duplicative of what you are working on? If not, can I submit them to you or is there someone more appropriate for me to submit changes to right now (e.g., each driver's author, someone else)? Since there are only four PCI sound drivers right now, I would like to be able to fix the whole category.
Also, do you know if there is someone shepherding the drivers/scsi patches? That is a more important category for automated loading, since it may be needed in booting.
