I'm playing around with a vanilla 2.6.25-rc1, adding patches to make
it work on an Asus EeePC. That one has the problem that its Mini
PCIe WLAN module doesn't show up in lspci. That brought up a few
questions that I couldn't answer yet:

How can they "hide" a PCIe card?
What could be their motive to do that?
How can I make it appear?


go to the bios, enable the wireless card.

that did it for me ;)

It didn't for me. I tried all combinations (booting with/without WLAN
enabled, enabling WLAN through /proc with/without pciehp loaded and so
on). What kernel did you use, and which patches did you apply?

Yes, I want to make it work, but I'd really like to understand what's
going on there and what's behind it.

Thanks,
Hans
