	I can't see anything that looks like a 3com board here. There's
something

	Can you put it in a PC and check that it works with NetBSD ?

Well, here is a previous message... So now, do I try the Intel EtherExpress
PRO/100 PC card (16bit) that I have, find a PCI riser card for my Multia? Or
put support for the 3Com in the kernel? I don't think I have the necessary
knowledge to tweak the kernel. I only know how to use Linux...(sort of)
