Something with an 83C90 or an 83C902 should work fine. Especially
Asante or Apple cards. Look at the config code in /sys/arch/mac/dev/if_ae.c
and look at the NuBus cards supported.

I think that support for the SONIC chip set (seperate from the SONIC
Ethernet card maker) is in progress as it's in the Q700. So it's
a not-yet, but soon.

LocalTalk is in the works, but not soon. We've first got to get
netatalk in the kernel. Since LocalTalk only speaks ddp, it's silly
to make an interface which uses an unsupported protocol. Then LocalTalk
will take a few months. Don't count on it, but it's on the way. Of course
barring other little things like my dissertation getting in the way. :-)

Take care,
