NetBSD's PCI support tries very hard to work for all PCI busses. So it=20
shouldn't matter what the card was designed for, it should just work.

Please don't recomend Reaktek cards to anyone. While the PCI ones don't=20
seem to be as much crap as the ISA ones were. they aren't very good.

3COM cards are good, and the Intel cards are very good. The 10/100 Intel=20
use the fxp driver, and the GigE ones use wm.

I'm using an i82540EM in my Beige G3, and it works well. Since you can get=
=20
these cards for less than $50, I can't recomend people buy just 10/100=20
cards anymore. :-)

Take care,

Bill
