I have two HP Vectras with on board ethernet.  They are NE2100 compatible
interfaces.  Do any of the *BSD's support this interface yet?  I tried
the FreeBSD 'ed' driver (NE1000/2000) but that doesn't work.  I think this is
because the 2100 requires DMA configuration.  The release notes say the 2100
is supported, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

In Win f/wkgrps, I can use both the AMD AM2100/AM1500T driver
and the Novell/Anthem NE2100 driver.  However, just like in FreeBSD the 
NE2000 driver does not work.

Help?
