It's what's printed on the box. "Level one 10/100Mbps Ethernet PC
Card".
Perhaps a different company of the same name?

Here's what I see in /var/log/messages (when restarting my card services).

I have explicitly added the line "exclude irq 9" to config.opts, but
it doesn't seem to help.
Also, by default, my distribution runs i82365 with the option
"poll-interval=100". I *thought* that meant that no IRQ would be
assigned to the i82365 module, but it appears I just don't know.
When I changed that option to "irq_list=<some list without 9>", the ds
module wouldn't load.
This is the output from the diagnostic program:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Unable to find a recognized card in /proc/pci.
If there is a card in the machine, explicitly set the I/O port address
using '-p <ioaddr> -t <chip_type_index>'
Use '-t -1' to see the valid chip types.
-----------------------------------------------------------
When I offer the options "-p 0x800 -t 17", I am told that a recognized
chip has been found but does not appear to exist in I/O space.
Feeding it the -f flag, I see this:
