Thanks for your help. Changes to the two files below did indeed work (with 
a make of the pcidevs).

 >It really seems to be a fxp clone, so just add the PCI product ID 0x1064 
to the appropriate source files, which are, afaik:
 >src/sys/dev/pci/if_fxp_pci.c
 >src/sys/dev/pci/pcidevs

The eeprom problem evident with the intel chipsets with 1.6* does not seem 
to be a problem with current.

Please would someone indicate how I go about getting this mod to be 
included in current - and for it to be pulled up into the netbsd 2 chain ?

thanks
