>Description:
Add support for the Novatech NV902 wireless NIC to the ural driver.  

In /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs add a line of the form:

vendor NOVATECH               0x0eb0  NovaTech

and

/* NovaTech Products */
product NOVATECH NV902                0x9020  NovaTech NV-902W

And to /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/if_ural.c add a line of the form:

{ USB_VENDOR_NOVATECH,          USB_PRODUCT_NOVATECH_NV902 }

Caveats:  The Link light does not work, and like apparently all ural devices, WPA/WPA2 is unstable and can cause kernel panics and reboots.
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to use the above device without the IDs.
>Fix:
Patch the affected files and compile and load the module.
