To shortly answer my own question earlier...

I _finally_ made it to the ethernet status page this morning (couldn't 
connect before/after I sent the last message re: ethernet to the list.

so, my problem remains....

ae0 at nubus0 slot a: failed to determine size of RAM
ae0 at nubus0 slot c: failed to determine size of RAM
ae0 at nubus0 slot e: failed to determine size of RAM

at startup.

My question this time is a little different.  I have pulled the ethernet 
card fromthe machine in hopes of finding it being supported on the 
ethernet status page.  Here is what I have came up with and am hoping 
that one of the ethernet gurus can tell me this would be asy to support.

My Card:  

Brand           : Asante 
Type            : MacCon for LC
Apparent Chipset: DP83932BVF
(Little Square Chip just left and below center when looking at card with 
nubus connector on right and rj45 port away from me)

I have noticed that on the ethernet status page that the Quadra 610,650, 
700 and 800 use the DP83932 (sonic) and that the following also have 
similar(?) chipsets.

Cayman    GatorcardPDS   SE/30     DP83932(Sonic)
Dayna     DaynaPortE/30  SE/30     DP83932VF (Sonic)

Now finally down to the question....

How difficult would it be to add support for this card, so that I can add 
this little guy to my
little at home Network?

Thanks in Advance
