I'm not used to PCI device tables either, so I'm rather confused.

Well, I don't have any Mac.

The real question was if there was a way to add Keywest detection to our
sensors-detect script. As it turns out, I think there must be one, but
it will be too complex for inclusion into sensors-detect (and for me
too). That's why I plan to add it to our undetectable adapters list
instead.
