PCI ID Patch for Intel Ether Express Pro 100 VE (82801BA)

[Tom Alsberg]

Having got a new machine here a few days ago, an Intel ICH D865 PERL
board based Pentium IV machine, with an on-board Intel EtherExpress
Pro 100 VE, it failed to detect the network adapter.

Seeing that it is an EtherExpress Pro 100, I though the fxp module
should work with it, and found out that the PCI ID (8086:1050) just
isn't recognized as one (new chip or something, apparently).

With the following patch to if_fxp.c:

it seems to work.  I am not sure how reliable it is and whether other
modifications should be made, but it worked fine for now.
Of course, the ID string is also perhaps not the best - perhaps it
needs to be changed.

Anyway, I would like it to be added to the driver, so new machines
with that adapter will work out of the box.  Should I submit this
trivial patch to anywhere else, or can it be picked up from this list?

BTW, I had the same story with Linux (that's what they wanted on it, I
was just diagnosing the problem) before, and a similar change to the
Linux eepro100 driver worked as well - had it worked with Linux out of
the box, I wouldn't probably try FreeBSD on it...

  Thanks,
