The file drivers/pci/pci.ids is only associated with /proc/pci strings,

and I'm trying to deprecate it :)

Done, thanks for the pointer!

2. The card fully supports Ethernet and TCP header separation in 
hardware (so called receive 3-buffer mode). The mode may have some 
performance advantages but so far we did not implement the mode in 
Linux since it seems that Linux stack can't handle the fragmented 
buffers in the receive path. Is this a correct assumption, does 
receive buffer has to be continuous?

In theory, the skb can be fragmented.  I'm not as much as an expert in 
the ipv4/tcp/socket levels of the net stack, but I don't recall any 
place that yet supports skb frags on receive?

I think that's likely an area that would need some minor 
adjustments/additions in the upstream kernels, but not major surgery, 
since the skb already supports creating, noticing, and freeing frags.

I think it will be a good idea to have full support for skb frags in
general, and not just for our product.

Please let me know if there is a consensus (and hopefully a timeframe
:-) for this; 
We volunteer to implement the mode in our driver and test the solution.
