Please don't believe anything you read there. That PCI ID is provided by random submissions. The entries range from slightly wrong to horribly inaccurate. There is an actual list of vendor IDs from the IEEE and PCI SIG. There is no reason to use the guess of the first submitter as the definitive entry. > Since this doesn't appear supported, is it likely to be soon, or is > there something else I could/should be using? If it's just a new ID, it will be in the next version. Adding new ID without a changed underlying design is fast -- we don't go through the whole testing cycle. Note that eepro100-diag was updated two days ago in preparation for the LinuxWorld update set. If this is a new ID, I'll slip it in before announcing the new versions. -- Donald Becker [email protected] Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 410 Severn Ave. Suite 210 Second Generation Beowulf Clusters Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993
