As for hme/qfe, I have good news for you. hme and qfe are similar MAC's. The reason for having different sources for the two was the trunking capability for qfe. So, if you have hme, you'll cover qfe as well.
They're not just similar they're *identical*. The qfe NIC is just a bridge and 4 cheerios, whereas the hme is no bridge and single cheerio. It used to be the case the the PCI hotplug bus enumerator even had specific code in to recognize a bridge + 4 cheerios and modify the 'compatible' property on the created device nodes so as to bind to the qfe driver rather than the hme!
