As of 2.1.42, I am both in the MAINTAINERS and the pci.h file.
I've moved (to where I'm now posting from), but the mail should
be forwarded. If there's a technical problem with the mail address,
please tell me.

Something similar was already in the patch I sent to linux-kernel about
a week ago.

linux-pcisupport@cck.uni-kl.de
as mentioned in include/linux/pci.h

I just saw, that as of pre-2.1.43, my patches are in the official kernel
tree. If you're using pre-2.1.43 and still see some unknown PCI
devices, please tell me about them (Craig: Your FDDI card is in the
queue).

Note that some people already mentioned a few problems with
pre-2.1.43 in more vital areas than PCI card detection, so your
milage may vary.

Jens.
