The thing is ne2000 compatible once you have programmed the pcmcia
controller to map the card's i/o, memory, and irq to the same
locations as on the ne2000.
If you are into source hacking, you can grab the driver I wrote for
this card for NetBSD 0.9. It won't just drop in, but it shouldn't be
too hard to port it for BSDI. Best bet is probably to steal the
pcmcia enabler code (mostly in the probe routine) and splice that into
BSDI's ne2000 ethernet driver.
