I see.  I thought the drivers would check the vendor ID
and chip ID first, and not do anything with the card if
they don't match.

According to the PCI IDs (0x81391904) it's a realtek 8139
card, or a clone thereof:

But then again, I've never heard about that vendor, so
it might be something alltogether anyway.  :-)
