I don't understand, how is a USB device part of a PCI device? What does 'lsusb' show for these devices? > Someone else added 2870 but it doesn't show a name either. Is there a name in the device itself? That's the best place for this information, and is why USB added strings to the configuration descriptors, so that no external tool should ever really be needed. > I expected to get an email back acknowledging my diff submission. > I did it on the website too.

I have no idea, what does the device itself say? Again, there is no real need to add new devices to this file, unless the strings in the device are somehow wrong and you want the userspace tools to display the updated version instead. thanks, greg k-h
