Just tried another 8139D card, same make, and it shows up as a 10ec:8139
instead of the 00ec. Bad bit, indeed.

So I've got a card that has a wrong PCI id, I wonder what Windows would do
if i installed it there. I wonder if I have more of these to test. Found
another one. I'll test THIS one too :)

Thanks :) How about a note in the C+ things that D isn't higher than C+
then.
