I wouldn't trust any of the big cheap stuff makers to not change a
device without changing the model.

I don't have much experience with netgear interface cards so I am not
sure how they do for that.  linksys and dlink though I know to be
careful with.

One of the worst examples is the Linksys LNE100TX card.  Comes in
revisions 1, 2, 4, 4.1, 5 and 5.1.  Revision 1 uses one driver, 2
another one, 4 and 4.1 a third driver and 5 and 5.1 a fourth driver.
They are completely unrelated chipsets other than being all 10/100tx
chips.  I think 2 might have been a new generation of the rev 1 chipset,
but the rest are certainly from unrelated chip makers.

Insanity.
