Right. To fix this, or even check on it, I'll need the output of lspci
and lspci -n. Only a couple of things in discover's current database use
the sungem driver, so if there are more now, I'd like to get them in.
Even if the driver is compiled in to the kernel right now, I'd still
like the entry in the database for completeness sake as well as a
fallback.
