    This is a limitation of the pcmcia-cs drivers on 2.4 kernels. It is,
    in itself, essentially harmless, other than messing up 'lspci'.

    Often, the same wireless card is sold by multiple vendors who just put
    on their own stickers. So I don't think this is a problem either.

    So, these specific things you've noted, as far as I can tell, do not
    indicate that anything is wrong.
