>Description:

I have a Linksys LNE-100TX v5.1 NIC. FBSD detects this card as using an ADMtek AN985, but OpenBSD detects it as an AN983. Checking ADMtek's site, the 985 is the mobile equivalent of the 983, from what I can tell; the Linksys device must then have a 983 and not a 985.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install a Linksys LNE-100TX v5.1 card (or prob. any card that uses an ADMtek 983) and dmesg.

>Fix:

I think it has to do w/ the 4-digit (?) ID string that the hardware reports; I looked into this once by comparing the OpenBSD code with the FreeBSD code. OBSD accomodates for a difference between the 983 and the 985.
