I did a quick look at the rt2500 driver and did not see any code that detects
what version chip is being read. If it is possible to determine if it is ver
2xxx and not 3xxx, then the probe routine should do that and return an error if
the wrong driver is being loaded. A similar situation arises in the Realtek PCI
devices. In that case, it is a PCI revision that allows a driver to reject the
wrong hardware.
