We should still add it in the meantime (there are other dups in bugzilla,
such as #480701) - it's very common hardware, and at least when I was seeing
it I was repeatedly getting hard panics requiring reboot within 1-2 minutes
of the wireless interface being enabled.
IIRC, it will take some porting for 2.6.27. Is there an F-10-2_6_27
fork somewhere?
