PCI ID Patch for Intel Ether Express Pro 100 VE (82801BA)

PCI ID Patch for Intel Ether Express Pro 100 VE (82801BA)

[Tom Alsberg]

Hi there.

We got a new machine here a few days ago - an Intel ICH D865 PERL 
board based Pentium IV machine, with an on-board Intel EtherExpress 
Pro 100 VE.

After Linux was installed on it, I was called to see why the network 
adapter does not work.  The module was not loaded automatically (it 
was Red Hat something - don't remember, don't use it normally, but it 
has some sort of hardware detection), and loading the eepro100 
modules failed (no such device).

After a few minutes, I traced it to the PCI ID (8086:1050) not being 
in the module's table (new chip or something, apparently).  Having 
added it, it seems to work.

Following is a trivial patch for it:

<patch>

</patch>

I am not sure how reliable it is, and whther other modifications 
should be made, but it worked fine for now.

I tried the alternative e100 driver - didn't originally work as well, 
but I did not bother to try patching it too.

Anyway, I would like it to be added to the driver, so that new 
machines with that adapter will work out of the box.

  Thanks,
