Oops, guess the 6103 is just a tranceiver, the 6102 is the controller - the 
two go together.

which explains why the old EPIA boards show up as VT6102 in dmesg, even 
though the website and manual only mentions VT6103.  I think I'll shut up 
now (but I'd still guess the EPIA-M networking is the same as the plain EPIA)
