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:

         { PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x1228, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, },
</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,
