When you say "the driver recognizes the name ..." what do you mean? There is no 
code in the driver to print the branding strings of the devices. I'm guessing 
you are you using kudzu? You can also double check with lspci.

Again the strings come from pci.ids. Diff the pci.ids you have on the 2.4 
distro with the one on the 2.6 based and you will see where the string is 
coming from.

Thanks,
