This one seems to been implemented sometimes in 2006 :

I wrote earlier that "adapter_ident" didn't work on my 8.4 system,
but that was while using f$fgetdvi()... :-)

Interesting difference here :

HV03> write sys$output f$getdvi("EWA0:", "DEVICE_TYPE_NAME" )
DE500
HV03> write sys$output f$getdvi("EWA0", "adapter_ident" )
DE504-BA (quad Fast Ethernet)

As a side note...

100 millibits?
