we could, but it would upset those nasty dutch people and all those who
cant make any sense out of german even more ;)

i tricked your client to reply not directly to me but to the mailing
list with a special header in my email so that everyone else can read
your replies too (and answer them). that is because often people (new to
mailing lists or just unwary) just reply to the sender and not to the
list as well (you did so too in your reply to idwer). usually there is a
button or menu entry to "reply to all" which also includes previously
"cc:"-tagged addresses in your reply. hth

ah ok i was not aware that those are missing.
my laptop is based on ibex peak/QS57 and i have not checked if the newer
ones are actually there.
i will put that on my todo list.

ok that certainly does not look right. could you please send us a full
log of the output of flashrom -VV with the added pci id please?

that would of course be very appreciated.
