For what its worth, I did have data corruption problems when
I was using 16Meg memory, SMC Elite (but not ultra) & AHA-
1542B.  It disappeared when I reduced memroy to 12Meg.  I
swapped memory around and ran extensive memory tests and
think the memory is fine.  My guess is the problem is
related to L2 cache of my noname OPTi MB + AHA + may be the
SMC Elite.  I didn't pursue it after that but if someone
knows why and how to fix it, I'd sure like to know and get
my 4Meg of memory back.

I believe NE2100 (which uses the AMD LANCE) is supported in
NetBSD/i386 via the if_le driver.
