Does anyone know what is needed to make this card work with NetBSD?
It doesn't probe with the ep0 driver (says something like ID 5970
ignored).  And, if you change the ID so it does probe, it hangs NetBSD
solid when you try to do an ifconfig on it.

It's the EISA version of one of their "fast, multi-tasking" adapters.
I was given one of these cards and had hoped to use it.  But, if it's
radically different from the 3c5x9 cards, that might not be an easy
task.

Ideas, any of you ethernet driver gurus?
