Thats NOT contrary to what anyone was saying (Im not sure who OP is). You're just too busy writing people off as trolls to read whats written. He said it didnt work at all with the 7520 MB, and he said his OLD 533Mhz MB was faster in 4.9 than the new MB was in 5.3 so it made no sense to upgrade. So, apparently, doing a PR doesnt work, since the PR you cited has been largely ignored for 3 months. So whats else do you recommend, Ted? PS: the 7520/7530 is required for use of Intel's newest CPUs, so its not some random chipset. It should be way higher in the list of priorities than the peripheral "fixes" noted for 4.11.
