  | are out there PCI network card which are supported by NetBSD besides the
  | de0 model ?

Lots.   But they won't work with SRM, so you won't be able to boot using
(most of) them.

  | 3COM or Intel, I mean if I want to try a dual homed host, does NetBSD have
  | support for normal PCI cards for alpha arch ?

Yes.   I have a 3c905c in an alpha, works fine.  I also have an (ISA)
smc (wd lookalike) piece of trash - that works fine as well.   SRM (of
course) understands neither.
