It's an ADMtek "Centaur" chip in PCI mode, similar to the (also new) ADMtek

What are the PCI IDs?  They should be 0x1317  0x0985.

The "Bridgecom" name is a bug in the 'lspci' database.  Some person must
have mistakenly assumed that "Bridgecom" actually makes hardware rather than
being a brand name on an OEM board.
