ummm, since the way you access PCI is going to be roughly the same and
since the cards are the same...and get accessed via PCI the same, then
I'd pretty much expect a lot of the code to 'look' the same
(how do they know without doing some reverse-engineering themselves?)
..and anyway, how can they complain about this issue after what they did
with the P96 issue?

apart from the fact that its very very difficult to get any access to
other gfx cards (and noone seems to want things like hardware PCI modems)
the range/type of PCI cards that we can get drivers for is pretty limited
