and the reason is what? i beg to differ:
SMC Networks was bought by Accton in 1997[1].
PCI vendor ID 0x1113 is registered to Acceton[2,3].
The SMC2 string is apparently just a prefix of the name Acceton is
using for the 1211TX. It was also sold to OEMs (e.g. gateway, hp)
which name it just 1211TX or with another prefix (including SMC,
without '2').

So SMC2 is clearly wrong and we should use either SMC or Acceton.
