[PATCH] eisa.ids: Add Network Peripherals FDDI boards

[Maciej W. Rozycki]

 Add EISA IDs for Network Peripherals FDDI boards.  Descriptions taken 
from the respective EISA configuration files.

Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org>
---
 It's unlikely we'll ever support these cards, the problem being the lack 
of documentation.  Assuming the policy for the EISA ID database is the 
same as for PCI I'm sending these entries for the sake of completeness.

 Please apply.

Gee.  Nobody has altered that file in six years.  Then again, few new
EISA cards have been designed in that time...

Oh well, maybe it is worth it, if only for the archaeological value...

 Wow -- I didn't notice it's been six years!  I'd put it differently 
though -- we must be nearing the completion of the list.  Great! :)

 ;)

 The box is in perfect condition though.  I just need a DEFEA-DB now, and 
no, not at ~$500 as currently listed here and there.
