Note that the products on www.trendnet.com are newer models (TEG-PCITXR for 
the GigE part vs TEG-PCITX and TE100-PCIWN vs TE100-PCIE).  If Trendware is 
an older name for TrendNet, then it may be that the only TEG-PCITX and 
TE100-PCIE products you would find would be labelled Trendware rather than 
TrendNet.  In that case the existing product IDs are correct.  The PCITXR 
model appears to be an re(4) card rather than an nge(4) part, btw.
