What kind of controller does this card have?  If you can look at it and
find the biggest chip and see what it has printed on it, that should be
the controller.  We currently support DP8390 and DP83932-based ethernet, I 
believe.  You might also consider writing directly to Allen Briggs
(briggs@macbsd.com) on this issue, since he's managed to get most of the
ethernet cards we support into a working state.

Let me know what you find.

Later.
