I'm not sure - the card having an OF driver might mean it's a Mac card, needing byte swapping, whereas a card with no OF driver would be a PC card, needing no byte swap. Or vice versa. Asante probably never built PC specific ethernet cards so the PCI vendor/device property could be used instead of OF data. OF data is just easier to get at :-)Really? I'd say it's easier to look at the struct pci_dev the Tulip driver already looks at. Besides, someone may want to try that card in a non-PowerMac, while still having the correct MAC address.
