I'm using a no-name real cheap one since the original apple one broke. It
came with one page manual not mentioning manufacturerer/web site or anything
;-) No boot support, though (it isn't recognized by OF - but that was true
for the apple one too).

The tlp0 is the cheap, working on, tlp1 is the apple one that ws
in there when I got that mac. Someday I'm gonna remove it...

tlp0 at pci0 dev 14 function 0: Macronix MX98713 Ethernet, pass 0.0
tlp0: interrupting at irq 24
tlp0: Ethernet address 00:40:05:50:ee:9b
tlp0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX
tlp1 at pci0 dev 15 function 0: DECchip 21041 Ethernet, pass 2.1
tlp1: interrupting at irq 25
tlp1: Ethernet address 00:a0:40:63:ea:cc
tlp1: 10baseT, 10base2, 10base5

Works fine for me. My root, swap and every fs is on NFS (but only 10 MBit
currently there, but I tested that card in a 100MBit setup before)
