From b933b4d93888b584eda826bffa68a3a1283f8411 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roger Luethi Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2006 23:00:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] via-rhine: add option avoid_D3 (work around broken BIOSes) It looks like broken BIOSes controlling Rhine chips will remain in use in significant numbers; such systems fail to come up via PXE after they have been put into D3 (power-saving) mode. This patch adds a module option for disabling the call that puts the chip to sleep.
