I would assume the vr(4) driver is the right driver for your card since PCI devices probe based on PCI IDs. Also, the driver has worked well enough to read a MAC address, etc. (have you compared it with the sticker on the card, if it matches vr(4) is almost _certainly_ the correct driver). -- John Baldwin
