I sent a question to the seller of the card I mentioned earlier asking them to
tell me the PCI IDs and explaining why I needed to know. If they answer, we will
at least know if it is a 14e4:432b. If so, then it certainly will have a PHY rev

available to get things for Rafał. Who has those funds? I think the last time I
got something though the donations, it was Stefano, but that was a long time ago.
