Someone put a wired usb-to-ethernet adapter into a system running
the 2.6.13.5 kernel.  The driver is evidently the rtl8150, and this
person sent me what appeared to be a modified version of the rtl8150
that is in the kernel.  The kernel driver does not appear to even attempt
to use this device.

Here is the output from /proc/bus/usb/devices:

E:  Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms
E:  Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   8 Ivl=1ms

The vendor driver (GPL) I received is available here:
http://www.candelatech.com/oss/RTL8150.C

When I get a chance later this week, I plan to add this vendor id
and see if it works.  Since the physical equipment is half a world
away, I'd welcome any conjecture as to whether simply adding the
device ID will work or not...

Thanks,
Ben
