PCI support under 2.6.11.4 on MPC8272ADS ???

Hi Walt,

It may have nothing to do with your case,

but once I've seen incorrect data from lspci
when PCI clock was 66MHz and the card was 3COM 3C905
which is not 66MHz-capable.
And for MPC8272ADS boards we have the HRCW (read from CPLD)
defaults to 66MHz PCI clock.


Best regards,
Andrei
