That may be true in some areas but shouldn't be true in TCP/IP
and/or ethernet functions.  I've run so many different routers,
switches, etc that most probalby weren't being made by the same.

I was more wondering about the cards and the rev's on the cards
as some models don't works as well as other models from the same
company.  The first iNTEL NIC's were a bit weird for some OSes and
the B model was the one to get.
