Description Tobias Hunger 2005-06-28 14:32:05 UTC

The TPM module in thinkpads is not detected properly. Attached you will find a
patch using the CVS code from tpmdd.sf.net to fix this problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build 2.6.12 kernel with tpm module
2. insmod tpm_nsc on a thinkpad
Actual Results:  
The module does not find the TPM module build into the laptop

Expected Results:  
The TPM module should get found and initialized.

I'll attach the patch as soon as this tracker will let me do so:-(
