Although my FreeBSD box at the moment is using a card which is a PCI NE2000
type (RTL8029 chip),  I upgraded to a NetGear FA310 in my main Linux box
some time ago. I was planning to make this DEC Tulip compatible card
my standard, but I discovered that NetGear have replaced this card with
the FA311 which is a National Semiconductor compatible (natsemi module
in Linux 2.4).

I have not been able to find any reference to this card in any compatibility
documentation for FreeBSD. Is it supported by 4.2, and if not, will 4.3
support it?

Any advice would be appreciated, although I have to say that performance
with the RTL8029 card in FreeBSD is much better than in Linux :-).
