My apologies.  I've tested a number of cards and posted my finding a 
couple of times so I thought it had been included.  Here's what I wrote 
last time this came up:

In the mac68k port I've tested and used the following:

With the "ae" driver the Asante MacCON-III+ card in a PDS LC-II/III slot. 
This card uses the ST-NIC DP83902AV chip.

With the "sn" driver the Apple LC Twisted-pair (part #820-0532-A) card in 
a PDS LC-II/III slot.  This card uses the Sonic DP83934BVUL chip.

Cards which didn't work:

The last time I tested it the Dayna card model #m0437z/b which uses the 
Sonic DP83934AVQB chip was partially recognized by the "ae" driver, but 
was not functional. This was last tested with a 1.3.2 kernel.  This was 
also a PDS LC-11/III slot card.

Also the Newertech LC10 never worked in the PDS slot.  It wasn't even 
recognized during kernel probe.

hope this helps,
