MMMmmmmm.  No.  The Apple Ethernet NB cards that are supported are
earlier ones without 68000 and SONIC.  I don't know how to differentiate
them other than that.  We'll need a SONIC driver for the Quadra systems,
but since that card also has a 68000, I expect that it uses some sort of
arrangement where the 68k does all the work and the main processor just
handles interrupts and queuing up data to send.  Is this one of the
cards that requires A/ROSE?

Anyhow, the working cards are the older Apple cards that use the 8390 or
83902 ethernet controllers, Asante (what I'm using) and, I think,
Farallon.  Some Interlan cards might work, too.
