The patch and description provided no information about whether or not it would be better to blacklist 8132 globally, as we have already done with the 8131.It absolutely was not vague, it gave an explicit description of what the problem was, down to the transaction type being used by 5706 and what the stated rules are in the PCI spec, and it also gave a clear indication that the 5706 was in the wrong and that this was believed to be a unique situation.
It was completely vague as to why this incompatibility was specific to the 5706, when -- as the description noted -- the behavior is legal. Re-read the patch. At no time does it say 5706 was in the wrong. Jeff
