Starting with the AR7420™, the DeviceID field in VS_SW_VER is now the DEVICE_CLASS field and identifies the “Device Family”, not the device type. Instead, the IDENT field in VS_SW_VER identifies the device type and the IDENT field is located at a variable offset within the message frame. Previously, the IDENT was located a fixed offset within the frame.
