Yep.

The 3940AUW cards are based on a single aic7895 chipset instead of a DEC
bridge chip and two 7880P chipsets. They happen to have a few nice features
and more on chip SCB RAM, so I generally would prefer the AUW models. This
is, of course, exactly the opposite of a 2940AU card, which is less of a
card so to speak than a regular 2940UW card is.

Opinions expressed are my own, but
they should be everybody's.
NOTE: I'm just now starting to recover from the Linux-Expo. Most
importantly, I'm just now getting around to answering a lot
of my email. So, if your message has lain around un-answered
for many days, I apologize.
