FWIW, I wouldn't be surprised if both are correct, and we just forgot
about an almost 30 year (I think) old device ID assignment ... I'll try
to figure out who even does these assignments etc., I don't know right
now. Let's see if I can figure out anything for the ancient WiFi IDs,
but I'm not very hopeful.

If we knew the subdevice IDs we could perhaps match on that, or add some
code to have ipw2x00 reject PCIe devices, and i40e reject PCI devices,
or something like that ...
