Yep yep yep yep, pretty much.

I have bought, I think, four or so Ethernet cards, all of which have 
worked flawlessly with NetBSD out-of-the-jiffy-bag, so to speak.

Check out <http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/macbsd-docs/ethernet.html> It is 
worth a look, although I think that's not quite up with the current 
state of things. :]

I can't quite remember enough to say which chips work, but the chances 
are good as long as you don't get something silly. ;]

Have lots of fun!
