Subject: [PATCH] Adding blacklist support to the pegasus driver

I have been working on a problem which arose from the fact that (at
least one vendor) some vendors use the same vendor and model number for
different pieces of hardware.
In this case the Belkin bluetooth dongle uses the same numbers as the
network adapter which causes machines to lock up as soon as the
bluetooth dongle gets inserted.
As far as I found there had been discussions about adding some sort of
blacklisting support to the pegasus module before but I have not found
any code doing so.
This is what the attached patch does. There is possibly much room for
improvement but at least it seems to work. Would it be possible to
include something like this in the mainline driver?
Please keep me cc'ed on replies, since I am not subscribed to the
mailing lists. Thanks.

Stefan
