And the 2.6.15 modules.pcimap entry for these is given below

So should the 21040 and 21041 be switched from de2104x to de4x5, or should
de2104x be added to the installer?  I seem to recall that I had problems
with de2104x on my 21040 as well; and at least in 2.6.15, the tulip driver
doesn't work at all for my card, I have to use de4x5.

The discover1-data package seems to have de4x5 listed for *all* of these PCI
IDs, but I think we may be using the kernel's map now with 2.6 (via udev).
