So my guess is that "wrong ID" means that somewhere in the process of putting the PCI ID (during the design of the device) someone mistook which ID to put. So this would mean that your device doesn't have the official ID of VIA, but it uses an unofficial one (famous enough to be listed though). Nothing to worry about. : > 00:04.3 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6202 [USB 2.0 > controller] (rev 16) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) > Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc.
