I have a 3com card with 3c905 chip.  Unlike Windows, the same driver 
usually works for anything with the same chip.

insmod 3c59x

Is there a way to identify the chip in BL without looking at it 
physically?  Such as reading /proc/pci?  I have devices 0 1 7 15 etc with 
distinct numbers associated.
