Did the script truncate the URL?  I see:
./drivers/ide/hpt366.c:15: * available from http://www.highpoint-tech.com/BIOS%20+%20Driver/.

not a problem AFAICT.

Yes, a few times.  The regex was not broad enough.
I'll submit some patches later given your input, thanks.

Please use http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/ as the official URL, the sf.net site
is only a mirror nowadays.

Unless you have a better reference, leave them.  Even if they 404, they
still provide a good starting point to search.

Could they be turned in archive.org links (where possible)?

What's the point?  Those links are there to refer you to something or
other.  Changing links to somewhere which you know does not provide that
something doesn't help.  It hinders.  It adds an extra step to the
search process for people who want to find that something.


If you want to get rid of 404s, ask whoever owns those links for a
current link.  If you get one, use that, otherwise leave the original
one alone.  So I think.
