The AIC 7890 is *not* supported.  There was a message on
netbsd-users very recently asking this.  FreeBSD has some
support for the 789x chips, but it requires their CAM SCSI

That is the chip on the newer EtherExpress Pro 100+ cards
(which work beautifully), so if for some reason the onboard
ethernet doesn't work it probably wouldn't be too hard to make
work.
