I'm afraid you haven't understood the difference between a control message for an individual port, and the config space for the entire device. Please re-read my post earlier in the thread, and follow the code. There's no divergence in the implementation and the spec, and there's nothing to fix. If anything, there may be a chance to add to the spec the order for the control message - though I don't think there's a strong need to. Amit
