As far as I know, NS83815 manual claims that d008 is a default value for vendor ID. but pci_ids thinks 100b is National semiconductor's vendor ID. Does anyone know why the difference ?
d008 == 1101000000001000 100b == 0001000000001011
It's been a long, long time since I touched/looked at this code (or the docs!), so don't ask me why this is like it is, but, there you have it...
I do remember that getting MAC addresses into the EEPROM wasn't much fun because of the shifting required to get the bits into the right places.
hope this helps, - -mark rakes
