i put a copy of "8139too.ko" on my Desktop & opened it in "Khexedit" &
then in "ghex2" & it looked quite weird to me. i never used any
hex-editor before, anyway i tried "Khexedit" documentation but still i
am not able to compare this ".ko" file with the PCI IDs i have in ".c"
file & *where* replace with *what*? can you help with something.

the meaning of ".ko" file opened in a hex-editor
