BTW I noticed a funny thing: the file devlist.h I tried to 
patch doesn't always exist - as it gets built from the file 
pci.ids in the same directory. Noone complained on that :)
What I don't understand is why pci_ids.h doesn't get
generated from pci.ids as well.

So, here's the new patch, sent along also to the pci.ids 
maintainer, along with the required info.

12d4 was DGM&S. Then DGM&S was aquired by Comverse, and 
later the corresponding activities (and the same PCI boards 
manufacturing) went to Comverse spinoff Ulticom. So, in fact,
Ulticom is just DGM&S under a different name and controlled
by Comverse. I guess the PCI vendor registry should get 
updated at some point, but I thought it could be a great 
thing if Linux knew it ahead. (Currently reported by the 
PCI driver "DGM&S" is obsolete - such entity doesn't exist 
any more). Naturally, I have got this info being a 
Comverse employee.

This patch only has effect on kernel PCI driver reporting 
on the 12d4 vendor ID. There is no Linux kernel code which
supports the corresponding SS7 signalling boards.

Kind regards,
	Vassilii
