Hello all.

Well, I misinterpreted this bug seemingly. For me too, this bug isn't fixed! This is a big problem with linux. It prevents me from using hardware that should be functional (rt61pci-module). I could use it in the past, but from a certain point I started getting this message and now my hardware (wireless card) has been idle while the driver might work at this moment. I performed some bios-updates, but maybe it was the new pci-framework?

Anyway, I consider this a big problem in linux and people seem to be giving it no attention. This bug doesn't always causes problems, but it creates problems for some. This bug prevents people from using hardware, which is why I consider it a serious bug. People can talk about bad bioses, ..., buthow sure are you that that is why it doesn't work. I only know that once an old version of the module worked and now it doesn't work anymore, and nobody pays attention, except for trying to get this bug from the boot-screen by lowering it priority seemingly!

Greetings,

Michem
