I'll apply this, thanks John.
pci.ids needs several updates for tg3 in fact, and it
also now needs entries for bnx2 as well.
The bnx2 IDs are already in, probably from sourceforge. And the tg3 IDs
look reasonably complete to me.
So in the future, do we need to patch this file or just let sourceforge
take care of it?
Honestly, pci.ids is such a non-critical file, unless DaveM disagrees I
would strongly encourage people to -only- send pci.ids updates to
sourceforge.
pci.ids is only used in one location -- deprecated /proc/pci -- and will
be removed in the next year or so, I imagine. Further, pci.ids is
periodically sync'd en masse from sourceforge into the kernel by janitors.
Users should be using 'lspci' not /proc/pci, and lspci takes it data
from sourceforge database not the kernel.
