Package: linux-image-3.0.0
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
The PCI ID for my network adapter (specifically an ADSL2+ card,
but its interface is that of an network adapter) is not included
in *any* current Linux release (I have checked the source of
3.1 and 3.2 kernels manually).

The card includes an Realtek 8139 chip (8139too.c being the
relevant driver) and has a PCI ID of "0x00ec, 0x8139".  Adding
this ID to the:

  DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE(rtl8139_pci_tbl)

as

{0x00ec, 0x8139, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, RTL8139 },

array allows Linux to detect the device which functions as
expected.  Windows 7 detects the device automatically without
issue or need for drivers.

A Google search shows other people being affected by this
particular PCI ID.

The vendor ID should be 10ec but is reading as 00ec.  This is usually
due to a damaged chip or improperly connected board.  We must not add
broken IDs - they may conflict with the real IDs of other devices, and
the chips probably will be broken in other ways too.

It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa.
