Yah, the 21143 has a larger SROM on some revisions. This is because
the SROM is used to store e.g. CardBus CIS information for those chips
when they're used in CardBus applications.

Right, this is because the chip gets the wrong information for GPIO
programming for the media.

Yes, but you're probably not going to like them :-)
I suppose you're running 1.4.2, or something. These chips work better
in -current under the `tlp' driver (which is a from-scratch new driver
not related to the `de' driver).
