After you select "Add new card" it will ask if you want to look at the 
card database. If you say "no" you will get a list of drivers.
Is the Radeon in that list ?

Supporting every chip is hard enough, keeping a database of every
card and all the names (does the card have different names in different 
packaging) is very difficult; chances are that for v4.2 the radeon 
developers didn't get around to updating the card database.
