I noticed the 82540EM mentioned in the datasheet reference in the code so I was hopeful :)  I'll happily test anything yourself or 
Idwer care to send me!

Yeah, I saw it in there and tried to add a section into the flashchips struct in flashchips.c, but didn't get anywhere. Comments 
around it in flashchips.h convinced me I didn't know the code well enough anyway.

Sure.

Yep, it appears as two devices:
0b:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06)
0b:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06)

I have some of these elsewhere with a rom that works... at least on this card, both functions can see the same spi rom. Makes sense, 
but I never even thought about it until you mentioned it.

Thanks,
