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.
