I have one here..

(and all the specs)
 the code changes needed to thte lnc driver are:

1/ new PCI ID :-)
2/ BSD equivalent of the following linux code:
     case 0x2626:
        chipname = "PCnet/Home 79C978";
        fdx = 1;
        /*
         * This is based on specs published at www.amd.com.  This section
         * assumes that a card with a 79C978 wants to go into 1Mb HomePNA
         * mode.  The 79C978 can also go into standard ethernet, and there
         * probably should be some sort of module option to select the
         * mode by which the card should operate
         */
/* switch to home wiring mode */
        media = a->read_bcr (ioaddr, 49);
        if (pcnet32_debug > 2)
            printk("pcnet32: pcnet32 media value %#x.\n",  media);
        media &= ~3;
        media |= 1;
        if (pcnet32_debug > 2)
            printk("pcnet32: pcnet32 media reset to %#x.\n",  media);
        a->write_bcr (ioaddr, 49, media);
        break;



I have alrady added the HomePNA media type to the if_media.h list
so all I need is to add this code..
(unless you beat me to it :-)
