According to the Linux driver this is a newer revision with
"RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_66" instead of "RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_65" and
from what I read, the only difference is the "firmware" loaded
into the chip. This might correspond to the RTL8126_MAC_CFG2_MCU
table in our driver, but at least the format is different.
