My Netgear FA310TX card (DEC 21140-AE) is also not liked by the 10/3 boot
floppy:

de0: enabling 100baseTX port

As soon as the "enabling 100baseTX" message shows on the console the link
light on the hub goes OUT, and doesn't come back on until I exit the
install.  I've tried various link options with ifconfig with no luck.  I
also tried connecting to a 10BaseT hub - same results.

The -current boot floppy seems to work OK with this card.
