[PATCH] DRIVERS: NET: USB: DM9601 driver can drive a device not supported yet, add support for it

[Janusz Krzysztofik]

Hi,

I found that the current version of drivers/net/usb/dm9601.c can be used to
successfully drive a low-power, low-cost network adapter with USB ID
0a46:9000, based on a DM9000E chipset. As no device with this ID is yet
present in the kernel, I have created a patch that adds support for the device
to the dm9601 driver.

Created and tested against linux-2.6.32-rc5.

There seems to be plenty of those devices available on ebay recently, for example:

I'm not sure if there was sometning wrong with my initial submition, but since
the patch, unlike others, has not been applied since acked last week, neither
to net-2.6 nor net-next-2.6, I decided to resend it, with a slightly modified
subject, and CC: David this time.

Thanks,
Janusz

Applied to net-2.6, thanks.
