Can NetBSD(-current) make use of NE2100 ethernet cards?
If so, how is it specified in the kernel?  (the same as the other kinds of
ethernet cards (e.g. "device ed0 at isa? port 0x300 ...")?)
Also, if it is supported, how does its performance compare to, say, a
SMC/WD8013 or similar cards?

Thanks,
Glenn
