r8169 network driver won't recognize u.s.robotics usr997902

[Stefan Potyra]

Hi,

the current ubuntu kernel won't recognize the NIC u.s.robotics usr997902, 
which is due to a missing pci_device_id in r8169.c. I've attached a patch 
against linux-source-2.6.12-8.12, which is really a one-liner ;)

Although the NIC comes with a shipped driver which works OOTB (at least on 
2.6.11, that's where i tested it [debian/unstable]) it is quite a different 
version of r8169 which didn't prove really stable.

This issue appears to be fixed in vanilla 2.6.13-rc1.

Maybe you want to consider putting this into linux-patch-ubuntu to get bigger 
HW-compatibility for breezy... your choice ;)

Where I found the patch in the first place:

P.S.: I'm not on this list, if you need further info, please CC me.

Cheers and thanks for your good work,
	Stefan.
