[LinuxBIOS] [PATCH] BCOM WinNET100 improvements

[Uwe Hermann]

See patch.

Btw, do we need to (or want to) enable the "SMI" PCI device? I guess not
as we don't use the VSA(?) Do we need it for the VSA-less audio driver?

Btw, Juergen, can you please attach a license to your photos in the
wiki? GPL or CC or public domain, whatever. There are templates such as
{{GPL}} or {{PD-self}} etc.

This patch should also fix the broken abuild-run on this board...

Thanks, Uwe.

For VSA-less audio it would be required. But maybe the audio itself is not 
required...

Yes, I will.

How about ACPI?  Though it's too early to worry about ACPI
it needs SMI.

How does it work? The download accepts the license only for new pictures. I 
added new comments, but only the comment of the first picture revision will 
be used (or at least it seems so).

Hm, not sure what the problem is. There's no need to re-upload, just
edit the image page and add the comments there, e.g.

http://linuxbios.org/index.php?title=Image%3AIgel_winnet100_3.jpg&diff=5...

HTH, Uwe.
