In fact, they lie. All sorts of add-on cards from various vendors,
with the same card "type" and model number, have different chipsets.
This has caused me endless grief in environments where my employer
refused to do normal kernel updates, and the new chipsets were only
compatible with the newer kernel.

See above, and yes.
