A new ID.
What is the version number on the card?
Curiously the new ID is lower than the old

Grrrr... the module loading should be using 'modprobe pci-scan', not 'insmod
pcmcia/pci-scan'.  I believe that David Hinds' new version fixes this
buglet.  Until then hack in a work-around by making a symbolic link
   cd /lib/modules/2.2.14/pcmcia
   ln -s ../net/pci-scan.o .
   ln -s ../net/cb_shim.o .
   ln -s ../net/3c59x.o .
   ln -s ../net/eepro100.o .
   ln -s ../net/epic100.o .
   ln -s ../net/rtl8139.o .
   ln -s ../net/tulip.o .
   ln -s ../net/via-rhine.o .
