I really don't know. I do remember noticing this too, but when
wverything seemed to be working -> i forgot it totally.

There is yet another thing about Netra/X1, and V100 too i guess, the
dmfe.ko didn't work on Netra/X1, so i fixed the hwdata pointing to tulip
for these PCI-ids. This was a must for hardware _i_ did have available
for testing, but for some cases the dmfe might even work (don't really
know :)
