No, I mean I will create a patch that will work for older devices that do not have the valid LED bits in eeprom.Ah ok. How can you know if the LED bits are valid (or not)?
There are version numbers and signatures that we may be able to use. I am working with the firmware engineer to see if we can find a way.
I consider this a bug in the eeprom and have set things in motion (in HP) to correct it since the card is not an obsolete product. Otherwise, the patch I submitted should be sufficient.
I am hoping to have a patch that will work for all older devices instead of just checking for subvendor IDs, if possible. If not, we'll go with your patch.
