I have an old copy of the datasheet, from 2004, version 0.3. I suspect
that the 2007 document is simply a reformatted copy of the 2004
document to comply with the layout of the day at SMSC. Which means that
SMSC apparently "lost" the 0.4 version from 2005. Might as well have
been on purpose if Guenter is right and revision A2 of the chip became
the EMC6D103S.

Anyway, I hope SMSC are better at designing and implementing chips than
at handling documents and deciding names ;)

It's really difficult to tell from the datasheets. Jan, maybe you could
try to take a look at the device physically to see how it is labelled?
