All the patches i've seen thus far were for some other chip (forgot the
ID), but for that 9835 i needed it desperately so i tested it quite a lot.

+ /* netmos_9835 (not tested) */ { 1, { { 2, -1 }, } },

I'm not sure about the others, but i doubt that one would work. Where
there conflicting success/failure reports for the same devices?
