On x86 systems, you can probably reprogram the vendor/device ids
(they are programmable in the chips)

But you would only need to do so if the device driver in question
is broken and has hard coded device ids it can use
(often assuming that unknown devices are not supported; sometimes
a "latest model" assumption or even 'most popular model' makes most
sense)
