This only counts PCI devices, so it won't find the majority of the drivers
I listed since those are all ISA.  The exceptions are asr(4) and si(4) which
do support PCI.  si(4) does not show up there at all.  There is one asr(4)
card found, though that site doesn't lend itself to tell you anything useful
such as which OS's or versions it is used on, so it could be something
running 4.x for all I know.
