Hi,

I'm interested in running netbsd on my 7500(upgraded with a 
604e/166). I'm going to use it as a NAT/firewall and mailserver 
(maybe a small webserver, depending on how well servlets work on it). 
I'm expecting that the 7500 will be up for it (after beating OF to a 
pulp), but i have one question:

i have a 3com 3c509 ethernet card (came with the cable modem), and 
i'm wondering if it would work (as a second ethernet interface). I've 
read that there are some little/big endian issues with the 3com 
cards. On some pages i've read that the card is supported ( = the ep 
part it belongs to is supported) and on other pages nothing about it 
is mentioned.

so is ep supported (aka are the endian issues solved for ep) ?

and/or does this involve a patch/recompile of the kernel?

thanks in advance
