Yes, sometimes the manufacturer just does not solder the eeprom.

This can be confusing to users
User A: My Card Brand Foo, Model X is autodected
User B: No, Mine is not.

Note: The cards lacking an eeprom are _not_ confirming to latest PCI 
standards which declared the subsystem id mandatory.

There are examples on the gallery which show the _identical_card with 
eeprom and without eeprom (e.g. twinhan).
