That doesn't give us a "known problem with PnP"; my point in the original response was that since we don't have any known problems with PnP, there isn't any fixing planned right now. I didn't mean to imply that if we can work out what's wrong, we won't fix it - that'd be silly. Just like if I had any damn idea where to start with the Thinkpad/PnP BIOS issue, I'd be trying to track it down. That one has me really puzzled. -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
