Sounds like they've change things since i got mine then. Useful to know
and somewhat irritating that different versions of the same model vary
that much in components. my pciconf -lv gave...
none0@pci12:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x10218086 chip=0x42228086
rev=0x02
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '3945ABG Intel 3945ABG Wireless LAN controller'
class = network
bfe0@pci2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x01d81028 chip=0x170c14e4 rev=0x02
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'BCM440x 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
Sorry for the noise.
