I should probably mention, the reason I chose to change 0x7646, is becuase it
was the only one with SOHO in the name.  If your new SOHO card isn't based on
the HURRICANE ASIC, the above hack will fail.  In which case you should research
which ASIC it is based on, and then make the change to one of the other DEVICEID
defines.
