At least for Atheros cards PCI IDs are not reliable to determine the
chipset that is used on the cards. While it worked in the past, several
vendors started to ship cards with AR5007 chipset but used the AR5006 PCI
ID for them.

If at all, PCI IDs can be seen as evidence but should not be regarded
authoritative in terms of chipset identification. ath_info does a better
job here.
