I use NetBSD on a 386DX/33, and according to the INSTALL_DOC only a few net-
work cards are supported.

I have managed to get hold of a Novell NE2000 (which is one of the supported 
cards), and this card works well. In addition, I would like to add another
network-adapter but can't get hold of any adapters using a different IRQ.
(Trying to use an adapter on another address, but using the same IRQ causes
the system to crash when trying to access the network adapter through soft-
ware...)

Does anybody know how one could, for instance, get NetBSD to support a Xircom
parallell network-adapter or at least a few more network-adapters?
