What about the numerous cases when you cannot chose what ethernet cards are going to be fitted inside a computer? Maybe a specific model was chosen to comply with warranty terms, or because a specific piece of hardware is certified in a given scenario, or because what you have is a PCIe card with multiple NICs built-in, or because the interfaces are embedded in the motherboard, or because it's not you how buys the hardware...?
