Fixed issues
- The io-net and io-audio drivers now mount properly after you've installed the Multicore TDK 1.1.0. (Ref# 28579)
- We've removed a blanket condition for enumerating PCI serial devices, so that we don't start devc-ser8250 for all of them. The new enumeration is based entirely on the vendor and device IDs, so the correct driver is started for the specific card. (Ref# 38968)
- Network drivers are no longer mounted before io-net has fully started. This was a problem mainly on multicore systems. (Ref# 38185)
- We changed enum-pnpbios so that it works properly on systems that have a partial PNP BIOS. (Ref# 29768)
- The enumerator now detects the Intel 82562 network interface on the XTX conga-XEVAL baseboard with the conga-X945 processor board. (Ref# 39895)
- The network enumerator now detects Broadcom BCM57xx chipsets with device IDs 0x1653 and 0x169c. (Ref# 40752)
- The network enumerator correctly detects Realtek 8139 PCI cards. (Ref# 41258)
