OK, shot in the dark:
/usr/sbin/update-pciids <updates list of pci device numbers>
My experience is sometimes this data base gets updated
and sometimes, it need a manual push. I'm not certain it
affects your hardware, but, it's a good command to try.
others <just for grins>:
update-ca-certificates update-etc update-usbids
update-env update-pciids
Or USE flag +network-cron which installs a CRON task to run thoses
utils on a regular basis (once a month or sth).
