Sorry, but we do not have a PCI vendor ID assigned to Linux at this time as the Linux Foundation is not a PCI-SIG member for a long and complex reason :( But we are still trying to join, it's the lawyers involved that don't seem to want to make it happen. I suggest that the OLPC either joins the PCI-SIG themselves (yeah, it's not cheap), or get your motherboard vendor to use one of their ids.
