Hi,

Is there a user space or perhaps simple kernel module way to
rescan the pci bus? I currently have a user mode program modify
the pci bus, but I can not push the user mode program to the
bios for reasons I can't get in to.
Currently I use this user mode program, then do a big hammer
approach of a reboot to get the kernel to see the pci device. Is there
a nicer way of doing this? Can someone kindly educate me.

Huge Thanks,
Dave:)
