We had on running under FreeBSD 2.1.5 (dual 10Mb combo), but
it required patches to the if_de driver.  The problem with it was
that the device id wasn't quite in the range the driver was checking,
and the older driver didn't support anything but 10BT on that card.

There are two problems with these cards, which the newer driver
should deal with just fine:
1. There is only one ethernet address for all the interfaces
2. All the devices use INT#A, so the BIOS mappings are wrong
(since they map the devices on the other side of the bridge to
different interrupts).

But yes, Matt's driver should ``just work'' with these cards.
