   Just to make sure that there are no misunderstandings:   
      
   All three "well known" Apple II Ethernet cards   
   - LANceGS   
   - Uthernet (I)   
   - Uthernet II   
   do _not_ have firmware. Therefore most ;-) developers agree that a   
   detection is no viable option.   
      
   Regards,

   PS: It's of course possible to detect, which of those three Ethernet is   
   present in a given slot. That's the type of detection that IP65 offers as   
   part of its hardware abstraction.
