RE: [PATCH] 2.4.x: update for PCI vendor id 0x12d4
[Updated patch is in the end of this mail] Thanks, Mark! > submit patches as text in your message, since people want > to read them, and not waste time saving to a file, etc. > also, explain patches: who is vid 0x12d4, how did you get > the information, what does it effect, etc. BTW I noticed a funny thing: the file devlist.h I tried to patch doesn't always exist - as it gets built from the file pci.ids in the same directory. Noone complained on that :) What I don't understand is why pci_ids.h doesn't get generated from pci.ids as well. So, here's the new patch, sent along also to the pci.ids maintainer, along with the required info. 12d4 was DGM Then DGM was aquired by Comverse, and later the corresponding activities (and the same PCI boards manufacturing) went to Comverse spinoff Ulticom. So, in fact, Ulticom is just DGM under a different name and controlled by Comverse. I guess the PCI vendor registry should get updated at some point, but I thought it could be a great thing if Linux knew it ahead. (Currently reported by the PCI driver "DGM" is obsolete - such entity doesn't exist any more). Naturally, I have got this info being a Comverse employee. This patch only has effect on kernel PCI driver reporting on the 12d4 vendor ID. There is no Linux kernel code which supports the corresponding SS7 signalling boards.

[PATCH] 2.4.x: update for PCI vendor id 0x12d4
This is my 1st attempt to submit a patch here - flames welcome if I did smth wrong... It was done across 2.4.2, but it works safely against 2.4.4 as well. <> Kind regards, Vassilii pci_vendor_12d4.patch
