Hi,
I'd like to tap some of the Linux-PCI gurus about something weird I've been helping a friend with...
He recently installed a PCI RAID card, and ever since, his Ethernet card stopped working. Further investigation revealed that his Realtek 8139 (10ec:8139) card had become 10ec:0139, and his 3Com Cyclone card had become 10b7:1055 from 10b7:9055.
Did the PCI bus decide to mask those PCI IDs to prevent some sort of resource conflict that would ensue from loading an appropriate driver for these devices?
