There is a test kernel link at

	http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/macbsd-docs/ethernet.html

for the "Apple LC/Comm Slot" card. While there is support for the Sonic
DP83932, I don't think the -16 is supported yet by the standard kernel
(someone correct me here).

By crash, I am assuming you mean you get dumped to the debugger or some
such, or does it hang outright? Sometimes the broken FPU support on LC040's
can manifest like that, too.
