    I know that and my intention was that we _NEED_ documentation to support it
    on _ALL_ chipsets out there.

    AMD should notice how many people using there CPUs and I think they do know
    it.

    So let's make a call.

    I know.

    I did that, too.
    Andreas Jaeger (SuSE) told me that maybe he could help.
    He got the USB patch information for the AMD Irongate after a few days out of
    them...

    I can't compare 'cause I have the AMD Irongate C4...;-)

    I hope we get some info, now.
