Case closed?
I admit that although *my* configuration works now, somebody else who understands the code better (Yu Luming and Len Brown, probably) get to decide if it's an "obvious" fix or something that introduces other issues. I know back around 2.5.68, there was a 2-line change to the Cardbus support that broke my Xircom card, but backing it out was technically wrong as well - the proper fix involved a complete re-write of the Yenta stuff.
