What is the best way to handle subsystems? For instance, according to libreplanet, the "VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] rev 78" card works with free software. I see on http://pciids.sourceforge.net/ that there is a card called "VT6102 [Rhine-II]", and many subsystems listed under it. Is it safe to assume that all of those cards are compatible if we know that one is working?
I read somewhere that in some cases they can have different specifications and therefore require different drivers. Do we need to worry about that? If we want to be cautious, how should we handle these cases, when all we know is that a subsystem or numbered revision unlisted by pciids.sf.net is working?
