That was why I explained it would be cool if it was possible to
do *fallbacks* on PCI vendor/device (for example, using pcnet_cs
for that one - not axnet_cs).

The problem is that currently it broke their config and it's
kinda hard for them to guess why, and feed you (or us) with the
necessary information.. a fallback on pcnet_cs with "version"
strings for cards needing axnet_cs or something else would be
nice, isn't it?
