the numbers printed on the chip package are package IDs. These are
different from chip-ids sometimes. ;)

The only way to find out the chipid really is to load b43 and look
for the message saying "found Broadcom XXXX WLAN".

But still, having a chip with the same chipid and/or package ids doesn't
mean it's the same chip. :)
