Is there a reason why you suspect this?  The driver is designed to match
Id's that are 'close enough', and a stock 29160 should have no trouble
being matched.  Please compile the driver into the kernel to rule
this out.  As I've said before, kld modules are not 100% working or
supported on amd64 yet.
