since this was brought up......

The SE/30 I installed netbsd on already has a Farallon ethernet card (it is
not on the supported cards list, and I assume there is only one farallon
card for the se/30). I have tried to make it work, and I get confusing
results. Upon boot, about 10-20% of the time, the hardware address is
listed in the boot messages along with the type, something like "Farallon
SE/30 10bT, 32k mem." The rest of the time when I boot the hardware address
appears as 00:00:00:00:00:00, yet the type is still detected. But, even
when the hardware address is detected, I can't seem to detect the network
once logged in.

I am not a programmer, and know little of how to patch source. Just
wondering if anyone has gotten something similar to work.. It would save me
a bit of money, because it seems the SE/30 cards are quite expensive.
