axnet_cs / pcnet_cs: moving PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID for Netgear FA411
Hi,
after noticing that my Netgear FA411 (PCMCIA-NIC) [1] stopped working with
the release of the 2.6.25 kernel (sidux-version), I checked the
respective driver sources and noticed that the pcnet_cs driver bailed
out with "use axnet_cs instead" for the Netgear FA411, but axnet_cs
doesn't claim this ID.
I compiled a kernel with the PCMCIA-ID for the netgear card moved to
axnet_cs from pcnet_cs which worked. I then contacted sidux-kernel
maintainer Stefan Lippers-Hollmann who turned the info into this patch
and integrated it into the kernel:
<http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/fullstory/linux-sidux-2.6/trunk/debian/patches/features/2.6.27.4_PCMCIA_move-PCMCIA-ID-for-Netgear-FA411-from-pcnet_cs-to-axnet_cs.patch>
This works for me and AFAIK there were no reports of any breakage for
other devices on sidux-support.
This looks like a trivial patch, but since I have very limited
experience with kernel modifications I might be woefully wrong there.
But if there are no side effects of this patch, is it possible to get it
into the official kernel?
I can provide more detailed information on the affected hardware if
necessary.

pcnet_cs bails out with "use axnet_cs instead" for the Netgear FA411, but
