Hi,

Thanks for the report. The best way to get a device in the pci database is by 
submitting it via the upstream website at,

  http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/

Once it is in there then users can update (even on older systems) with 
update-pciids, and at some point it will get pulled into the version that 
debian ships.

The upstream site is organized by ids. You can run lspci again with the -n (or 
even better -nn which shows both name and number) in order to get the ids. I'm 
guessing that it's 1033:0035 just from looking at
  http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids
There are already a few other subsystem ids listed there, assuming that's the 
id, we can add this one with a decent description.

You mentioned that you don't have a brand name, is there anything written on 
the card (or the box that it came in if you ordered it) that could be used as 
the description? If not then maybe something like "PCI USB 2.0 5 port (4/1)".

If you don't feel like submitting to the upstream site, just reply with the 
info and I can do it for you.

Thanks,
