Unfortunately they both don't; see my other email,
<http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3C87sioxq3rx.fsf%40schwinge.name%3E>.


Also, the quirk patch resulted in a NULL pointer dereference in
pci_find_ht_capability+0x4/0x30, which I hacked around as follows:


If needed, I can try to capture more data, but someone who has knowledge
of PCI bus architecture and Linux kernel code (so, not me), might
probably already see what's wrong.

 Thomas

failure.  ;-|
