I usually use quite recent kernels when testing the driver and I wasn't aware of these changes before. I went through all changes to linux/pci.h in 2.4.x releases and current CVS version of Host AP driver has proper #if/#endif blocks for the changed PCI stuff. I haven't tested the driver with older kernel versions, but I would assume it would now also work with versions 2.4.0 to 2.4.5 that were affected by this issue.

Added in Linux 2.4.4.

pci_disable_device() should not really be needed at all unless PRISM2_BUS_MASTER is defined since it only disables PCI bus mastering.
