I have a suspect card and I have a hopefully Genuilne card.
lspci on the genuine states:

0000:01:02.0 Communication controller: Tiger Jet Network Inc. Tiger3XX
Modem/ISDN interface

I have a probably ingenuine card that states:

01:01.0 Network controller: Tiger Jet Network Inc. Tiger3XX Modem/ISDN
interface

TBH it's hard to tell the difference.

It's just reading the HPEC guff and finding that I can probably get a
free license since the card is less than 2 years old (if memory serves
correctly) and for the 3 channels (which have honestly never hit more
than 1 in use so far) I really have the spare runtime.

Oh and FWIW, I am completely hammered, so if anyone takes offense at the
above posting, then I apologise and I am not of my right mind, well that
and I am livid that I don't have enough cash on me to buy a kebab.
