In particular, I have a new Dell 2500SC server and would like to use the following hardware: the embedded Adaptec AIC-7899 SCSI controller, an Intel Pro/1000T Server adapter and the Promise Ultra100/TX2 IDE controller card.  NetBSD 1.5.1 doesn't configure any of these (at least for my box) and I know the supported hardware page does not specifically say it will either, but I would like to know how to go about getting NetBSD to support these in particular and also in general how hardware gets supported?

Well, either write support for theses, or get someone to write it.
For example if you send me a Promise Ultra100/TX2 IDE I'll try to make
it work :)
