Don't know, Cc:'ed the owner of the card. Currently it is paired with another bt878 grabber card which has a PCI Subsystem ID.
The windows driver's I've seen so far do check the ssid, althrough some handle it better than others: The (old) Hauppauge drivers I have become greatly confused if they find a card with a unknown ssid. Maybe that is fixed by now. The Terratec Windows drivers just pick the card they know about and ignore the other one as they should. Don't know what the generic/reference/cheapo-card drivers do.
The problem bttv has here is that it can't simply ignore cards without ssid because that would break all the crap^Wcheap boards out there ...
