The DC21041 is a 10Mb/s chip, and works just fine when using the Kingston
cards:
de0 <Digital DC21041 Ethernet> rev 17 int a irq 12 on pci0:10
de0: DC21041 [10Mb/s] pass 1.1 Ethernet address 00:c0:f0:04:2c:d4

For 100Mb/s operation you want a DC21140 chip, and I am currently recommending
the SMC9332BDT which has had support added for this specific card to
FreeBSD 2.1.7, 2.2 and 3.0.
